Hi John,
There could be many reasons for this, so I’m going to throw a whole bunch of 
steps at you to see which one works, haha.
First, have you tried running `make clean` and `make` when you either go back 
to a release or to the git HEAD?
Also, do you have Emacspeak dependencies, notably mplayer and sox installed?
If you do all this, we’ll need to figure out what happens when you load 
Emacspeak. I’m not sure of the best way to do this given your configuration, 
but maybe try the emacs -Q that you did before, and do M-: (load-file 
“~/src/emacspeak/lisp/emacspeak-setup.el”) or whatever your emacspeak path 
is, and see if you can read the buffer contents with the errors, maybe from 
th e*Messages* buffer.
Hope this gives you a few next steps to debug the issue!
