You have not linked your program to the libespeak library.  Therefore
functions such as "espeak_Initialize" are not found.

Usually, you don't need to give a path in espeak_Initialize(). If you
set the path parameter to NULL, then it will look for the espeak-data
directory either in the top level of your Home directory, or if not
there, then at /usr/share/espeak-data.
