[orca-list] speech-dispatcher 0.6.2

[Guy Schlosser]

Hey there Tomas and other listers, this is really weird.  I modified 
the init.d script to point to the newly compiled speech-dispatcher, 
and on bootup, I receive the error message "can't create pid in 
/var/run/speech-dispatcher".  When I launch from the command ($sudo 
speech-dispatcher), this error does not occur.  Any ideas?  Again, 
thanks much in advance for all the help.

Later,


Guy
