Linux cmake Can't read dictionary files during make install- audio is horrible

[mrichter0]

Resolved. Looks like "Can't read dictionary file" is displayed by default here when the file does not exist, signals for creation.

Running on linux server, trying to use cmake with no sudo or autogen. I see the cmakelists are already created, so that's great, but I get a problem during make install, Can't read dictionary file (see below build information)

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/mycustomdir/espeak-ng

verified that the dictionary files are created, and can be read. Get this problem with every dictionary. I proceeded with make install, but all voices just come out robotic/garbled.
