OK. I changed the ac_default_prefix in configure to
/usr/local/FreeSpeech. Unfortunately, some libraries were
installed under /usr/local/lib. OK, not much of a problem.

OK. I did this. Actually, I made a script setting all that to
the right values and wow ! now when I press the right mouse key
I get a lot of menues and can select all sorts of stuff and make
diagrams and the like. Very nice. I didn't whether everything
works now, but at least it looks a lot better.

Well, FreeSpeech definitely works now. 

Funny enough, piper works now, too. I haven't the foggiest idea
why. At least I can invoke funny symbols with lines to a pair of
red disks with a black rim.

Sorry if I sound stupid: but some instructions in how to use
this toy would be welcome ;-).

If I press the middle mouse key, two little Martians ( or
whatever they are ) and when I release it they sink into
oblivion. Inside all the symbol boxes there are two little
martians as well. Somehow I fail figuring it out :-(.
