Does PPC have different byte-ordering from i386?

If so, it's possible that the data files are not binary compatible. 
Have you ever had eSpeak work on PPC, or know anyone who has?

Delete the file /usr/share/espeak-data/en_dict file, and also make sure
you don't have a directory espeak-data in your user's home directory.

Then try re-compiling the dictionary data:
   espeak --compile=en

Can it speak then?

If the phoneme data (espeak-data/phondata,phonindex,phontab) is also
incompatible, then that's a bigger problem.
