I get the same behavior.

Jonathan, I have come to the conclusion that the phoneme data as well as 
dictionaries need to be rebuilt, to suit the architecture the package is 
being built on. I notice that the espeakedit package has the routines to 
compile the phoneme data, but unfortunately one has to have a GUI 
running to use the --compile flag of the binary.

Is it possible to separate out the phoneme compile routines to a 
separate binary, independant of any GUI libraries? If so, would you mind 
sending them to me, so I can use them to ensure all architectures ship 
with the correct voice and phoneme data?

I don't want to make espeak 1.18 packages available, until we have this 
sorted out properly.

Thanks.
