When emacspeak says specified program is a directory, you probably need
to enter that directory and if you find a Makefile in that directory run
make on it.  I had this happen in the emacspeak servers directory until
I entered that directory and ran make and had a script built by make
then emacspeak started working on slackware 13.0 using portaudio 19 and
espeak.

Hey,

I am gradually learning my way around emacs and emacspeak. I have a few
questions:
- What does it mean when the voice raises pitch?
- I have had it tell me "Specified program for new process is a
directory" ...Is that me doing something wrong or the program?
- How far can the voice it uses be sped up ?
- Do links make the voice speak lower like on linux? Working with the
emacspeak easy howto which gives me these facts, I am quite a newbie to
emacs and emacspeak..
