No, you have both installed.

I think the linker looks for  /usr/lib/libportaudio.so
On my computer, this is a link to  /usr/lib/libportaudio.so.0.0.18
which is the portaudio V18 library.

There are also links:
/usr/lib/libportaudio.so.0 linked to /usr/lib/libportaudio.so.0.0.18

and
/usr/lib/libportaudio.so.2 linked to /usr/lib/libportaudio.so.2.0.0

It may be possible to change the eSpeak makefile so that it links to
one of the version-specific portaudio links (eg.
/usr/lib/libportaudio.so.2 ) but I don't know how to do that.
