Re: emacspeak 6.0 installation

The sequence should be:
make config
make
make install
The second command generates all the compilation feedback, so I assume
you did that much. The third step installs the files. If you want to
install somewhere other than the default locations (/usr/bin,
/usr/info, and so forth), use this sequence instead:
make config PREFIX=/my/path
make PREFIX=/my/path
make install PREFIX=/my/path

Okay, tcl must be in your PATH.

If you do "make install", then you should be able to start it with the
shell script "emacspeak".

The only thing I can think of offhand is that some file isn't being
found. Doing "make install" might help. Otherwise, do you have
strace installed? If so, I suggest you try "strace -o logfile -ff
emacspeak", then grep through it looking for stat() calls.

The interface between the elisp code and the driver changed, so the
old dtk-exp would not work anyway.
