John.

From what I see on my end:

1. git clone https://github.com/tvraman/emacspeak.

2. Switch to the dir where the repo has been downloaded.

3. "make config", followed by "make".

4. "cd servers/mac-swiftmac", then "make". The Swiftmac binary gets copied into the "servers" directory.

5. Then set up Swiftmac parameters as per Swiftmac's Readme inside "~/.emacs.d/init.el" file.

Apologies... I know these steps sound obvious, but I wanted to demonstrate how everything simply works on my end.

What is different in your case?

Hope this helps somewhat?

Problem is, there is no ~/.config/emacs/init.el this may be the
problem.  Everything I have is in  ~/emacspeak.  Just to make sure I
did a make clean, make config and make.

I ram emacs and there is nothing in the .config or .emacs.d related to
emacspeak.


I  have never had anything about emacspeak in  ~/.config, so not sure
what is happening.
