Speechd in Italian

[mooncar at libero.it]

Hi to all!
I am new with speech dispatcher, I have just installed it because I need emacs with Italian speech. But I have some problems...
I have Debian kanotix and emacs 21 (and emacs21-el), and I have installed
festival 1.4.3
mbrola with italian voices
italian festival by CNR ISTC by Piero Cosi
libdotconf
festival-freebsoft-utils 0.4-1
speech-dispatcher 0.5-4
speech-dispatcher-festival 0.5-4
libspeechd 0.5-4
speechd-el 1.0-3

I have edited the file /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf writing

AddModule  "festival"	  "sd_festival"  "festival.conf"
DefaultModule festival
LanguageDefaultModule "en" "festival"

And I have added (it italian) to the variable language-codes at the beginning of
the freebsoft utils file voice-select.scm. 

I start festival --server in a shell, and in another shell I become root and start speech-dispatcher. The connection is ok:

server    Thu Jan 19 17:55:27 2006 : Festival server started on port 1314
client(1) Thu Jan 19 17:55:32 2006 : accepted from curaro

If I start emacs and use the command M-x speechd-speak, I have in the festival shell:

SIOD ERROR: could not open file /usr/lib/festival/synthesis.scm
SIOD: unknown voice kal_diphone
SIOD ERROR: could not open file /usr/lib/festival/synthesis.scm

Because in my system all festival files are in the folder named /usr/share/festival, I copied the file 'synthesis.scm' from 
/usr/share/festival to /usr/lib/festival. Now, I have emacs speaking in English. 
I use the command M-x speechd-set-language,I answer it, and emacs become silent, it no longer speak. the festival shell say:

sh: recode: command not found
sh: recode: command not found
sh: recode: command not found
sh: recode: command not found
sh: recode: command not found
SIOD ERROR: wrong type of argument to times
sh: recode: command not found
sh: recode: command not found
sh: recode: command not found
sh: recode: command not found

And the log file:
