Orca troubbles by running orca

Hoppa orca readers,

I'm Sebastian and 25 years old. One of my hobby's since 2004
is linux.

I run a computer with Debian etch (amd64) and try to run
orca, but it
doesn't work. :-(

I compiled the orca 2.17.3 Sourcen and the following
happens:

sdellitserver:~$ orca
Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi Sebastian:

Welcome!  Can you try running test-speech to see if you can
get speech
working?  In addition, Debian is currently a troublesome
beast for
accessibility on Linux.  People are working on improving it
(yeah!), but
you might try Ubuntu Edgy if you're not wedded to Debian.

Hello Sebastian,
test-speech isn't installed on all debian systems.
It wasn't there on my grml-system, but it exists on Ubuntu
6.10.
As I told you on our German linux list, the command
festival --tts filename
is part of the text console.
test-speech
is a program that tests the gnome speech server.
I guess you must install the gnome speech server. Check
Hennings mail in
the German list.
Regards
Hermann

Aha!  That means gnome-speech is not installed on your
machine.  If you
cannot find the gnome-speech packages for your distribution,
you might
try building/installing it by hand:

export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymousanoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome
cvs login
<return to enter an empty password>
cvs -x3 co gnome-speech
cd gnome-speech
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

I suspect you might need a bunch of other packages to build
gnome-speech, but this is at least worth a try.

I compiled the gnome-speech-0.4.6 and try
"test-speech".

At first, I must select a Speech Server, I select festival
by pressing
1. After a fiew other settings, I hear a voice. Now I must
select the
voice, I pressing 1 and geht the following error:

** (process:4184): WARNING **: Failed to send buffer
Speicherzugriffsfehler

The error of orca is the same before.

I copy all messages by compiling orca:
