Arch Linux Installation

["D.J.J. Ring, Jr." <n1ea@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have emacspeak working but it generates a "process speaker<1> not
running" error. Probably because of the non-standard way emacspeak is
installed.

I'm using Arch Linux and installing emacs and emacspeak.

Everything works, except I get this error and it fills the place where
I should give commands.  In other words, there are error words saying
that the process speaker isn't running (but it is) and I cannot give
commands.

Does anyone have a workaround?

Thanks - see error below.
