I installed it without a hitch. The Voxin installer wasn't designed with arch linux in mind. Fortunately I was able to copy the necessary files from a previous installation. It's actually quite simple. 1. From your previous installation, make two tar.gz files from /opt/IBM and /var/opt/IBM. 2. untar the files on your new system with a command like: cd /; sudo tar zxvf file1.tar.gz 3. make symlinks in /usr/lib for the two libraries: libibmeci.so and libetidev.so You can use the say program to test it although in my case I had to stop espeakup to free the soundcard. The suggestion about installing the libstdc++296 package also worked for me. This saved me the pain of dealing with a .deb package supplied with voxin. Finally, another tool I have discovered is yaourt. This is a front-end to the standard arch package manager (pacman). It makes it easy to search for and install packages from the aur as well as those included with arch.
