No, I don't think this will help. It has nothing to do with libspeechd
and removing all libspeechd is not a good idea because some applications
on the system might be linked against older versions of libspeechd
and this would break them.

mooncar, I think there is some mess with the instalation of libdotconf.
The configure script for Dispatcher performs a check if the library
is available and from your writing it seems it passed the check.
You also say you have libdotconf installed. Maybe you did configure
as another user as the one who is trying to do make or something
like that?

I'd guess that gcc is not looking into /usr/local/lib for the library
and only looks into /usr/lib. Try compiling again, starting with
        make clean
        LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" ./configure

If it doesn't help, do

        make clean
        ./configure 2&> configure.log
        make 2&> make.log

and send me the two .log files so that I can see what is wrong.

Have a nice day,
