After installing 0.7.1 from experimental, if I set
RUN=yes in /etc/default/speech-dispatcher, start the daemon, then run
spd-say hello
I get:
Failed to connect to Speech Dispatcher:
H◈◈t1◈@
strace shows
socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM|SOCK_CLOEXEC|SOCK_NONBLOCK, 0) = 5
connect(5, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/var/run/nscd/socket"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT
(No such file or directory)
The actual socket is here:
srwxrwx--- 1 speech-dispatcher audio 0 Sep 24 11:16 /var/run/speech-dispatcher/speechd.sock
which is where it should be looking.
I used to have an old version of Speech-Dispatcher under /usr/local. I think I
have successfully removed all of its libraries and other files, but there's
still a slight possibility this could be a misconfiguration on my part.
(/usr/local looks clean now).
Suggestions?
