Good, we are nearly there.  You probably don't have
lib/python2.4/site-packages in your python path.  You can check by the
following command within python shell:

  import sys
  print sys.path

This will print the list of directories, where python searches for
packages.  To fix your problem, you have two options.  You can either
add the directory to your python path or link the library to one of the
directories, which are already searched by python.

For the first option, you can for example add the following line to your
~/.bashrc:

export PYTHONPATH=/lib/python2.4/site-packages

For the other option, you might invoke the following command as root:

ln -s /lib/python2.4/site-packages/speechd
/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages

Note, that it should be all just one line.  I consider
/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages to be in your python path...

Let us know if that helps.
