[SOLVED]OSError: libespeak.so.1: cannot open shared object file

arch_SENPAI · 2024-03-04 16:01:47

I have a macine learning project, running on Qtile however it keeps giving me

OSError: libespeak.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

i have tried searching for libspeak h however no package like that exists.

i have also installed the pip pyttsx3 , which is the text to speech converter im using

How do i solve it.

Hello. What program are you trying to run? And how did you acquire/install the program?

libespeak.so.1 appears to be a Debianism (actually, might just be a symptom, not the cause). Can you rebuild the project so it links against the real shared object? (libespeak-ng.so.1, part of espeak-ng in [extra])

If not, you may need to create a compat symlink.

I ask once again:

Please start answering the questions.

Looks like a bug in pyttsx3 which was fixed three years ago: https://github.com/nateshmbhat/pyttsx3/ … 048577e962

However, it doesn't look like the software is still developed, and the last release predates this fix.
