Yeah, a bad habit I've picked up using ubuntu. I invoked emacspeak without sudo and I found out that the beep is being caused by a missing g-client. I downloaded g-client and I've placed it under site-lisp, I'm assuming that emacs should see it there. I'm still getting the g-client missing, I guess I've got to get it on the load-library path list, I can't remember how to do this. Any ideas what else could be wrong?
