I was playing with the TTS libs and when I was using pyttsx3, it showed me this error

OSError: libespeak.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

But, I have already downloaded libespeak1 through the terminal. I am using Linux mint and Python 3. I am using Pycharm as IDE. I browsed many forums but, every one of them said I had to install the lib. But, I have done it already.

where is `libespeak.so.1` on your disk? What is the output of `'sudo echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH' `? – balderman Nov 04 '20 at 12:42
Don’t know. I just installed it through the terminal – Leo Red Nov 04 '20 at 12:49
come back with the information I have asked you to find in the previous comment. – balderman Nov 04 '20 at 12:55
What should I type in the terminal? 'sudo echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH' is not going to work right? – Leo Red Nov 04 '20 at 13:20
I have the same issue: - Works in commandline, fails in Pycharm - same virtualenv for both Pycharm 2021.1 // python 3.9.2 Pycharm doesn't like this when you try to initialize it: `engine = pyttsx3.init()` – James Liu Apr 14 '21 at 01:35
@JamesLiu Try installing pyttx from PyCharm – Leo Red Apr 16 '21 at 05:22
