Ubuntu Dapper Drake for AMD64 and speech

["Roland Zitzke" <jbpuffgxfnuv spammotel com>]

Hi,
Has anyone managed to run Gnopernicus on Ubuntu 5.1 or later for AMD64?
I couldn't get gnome-speech to work on a previous 5.1 installation which 
runs stable otherwise. Now I am trying to start the life CD of Dapper Drake 
with the blindnes option (by pressing f5 on the first screen and then 
selecting "blindnes").
I don't get any speech output at all. Running Gnopernicus from a shell 
produces an "application gets closed due to an error" screen.
My soundcard is working just fine and I have no general X-Windows problems.
I doubt that there's anything to do wrong during startup of the life CD and 
since all other parts of the system are working fine I wonder if anyone has 
tried the 64 bit version at all.

Any hints?
Regards Roland
