The initial error you reported is telling you that the make process
cannot find a espeak-ng header file. As reported by others, this
typically indicates you don't have the epseak-ng development package
installed which contains the shared libraries and header files needed to
build the espeak speech server. Development packages typically share the
name of the main binary package, but with the extension -devel.

If you have verified you have espeak-ng-devel (and not espeak-devel, the
'ng' is important) installed, verify you are getting the exact same
error and not just another error. Do a make clean and then a make in the
native-espeak directory. If you get the exact same error message, that
would indicate that for some reason, the build process is not finding
the header files. This would indicate they are in a different location
to where the build process expects them, so the next step would be to
identify where the files are located. On Fedora, the files are in
/usr/include/espeak-ng and I would expect a similar location in
Ubuntu/debian.

So, first step, confirm it is the exact same error message and if it is,
confirm you have espeak-ng-devel installed and where the
espeak-ng/speak_lib.h file is located.

If it is actually a slightly different error message your now getting,
then post that message and we will look at that. Hope it is a slightly
different message as that means progress!

BTW you say you just installed Linux on an old system you had. Can you
also indicate how familiar and/or comfortable you are with Linux. This
will help in knowing what level of detail we need to provide when making
suggestions.
