Re: debian emacspeak 15 package

Yvonne,

I also had problems installing debian package with emacspeak 15. In my
case the source of problems was exactly that emacspeak initiated the
variable emacspeak-directory to contain path
/usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/emacspeak/
which is by itself probably right, but then emacspeak calculated other
directories as being relative to this one. And that was already wrong
for debian installation. For example, because of wrong value in
emacspeak-sounds-directory I got the following message upon startup
and auditory icons not playing:

Theme /usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/sounds/default-8k/ is missing its configuration file. 

(Note the incorrect path.)

To avoid this problem one might assign right values to all relevant
emacspeak-xxx-directory variables in the file
/etc/emacs/site-start.el.

Personally, I corrected these values directly in the emacspeak sources
because usually I run emacs with parameter --no-site-file when I work
as root.
