Yes, compiling "espeak" needs the "libespeak" to be present in /usr/lib.

But "make" should have compiled libespeak.so.1.18 OK.  So install that
in /usr/lib and do "sudo ldconfig" (I think that creates the link from
/usr/lib/libespeak.so.1 to /usr/lib/libespeak.so.1.18.0).  Then if you
run "make" again, it should compile "espeak" OK.

Perhaps there is a way of making the makefile do that automatically?
