Hi David, Did you install the development version of portaudio 19.
Otherwise another alternative is to choose the speech-dispatcher backend with the very recent eSpeak driver. I believe that the audio output is based on aplay and so will work on your desktop. Just a note, installing a new release of eSpeak can be more direct, as root under src, just type: make install Yes, if the espeak-data directory exists under your home directory, it might be removed.
