Thanks in advance for the help. =46rom the Speech Dispatcher INSTALL file: =2D--- Installing Festival Speech Dispatcher interface: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D You need to install the new version of festival-freebsoft-utils (0.3 or higher). Please make sure that Festival server_access_list configuration variable and your /etc/hosts.conf are set properly. server_access_list must contain the symbolic name of your machine and this name must be defined in /etc/hosts.conf and point to your IP address. You can test if this is set correctly by trying to connect to the port Festival server is running on via an ordinary telnet. If you are not rejected, it probably works. =2D--- On my system (Debian), file /etc/festival.scm contains the following: =2D--- ;; Any site-wide Festival initialization can be added to this file. ;; It is marked as a configuration file, so your changes will be saved ;; across upgrades of the Festival package. (set! server_access_list '("localhost")) =2D--- and my /etc/hosts file contains: 127.0.0.1 localhost newton "newton" being my machine's host name. =2D-=20 Gary Cramblitt (aka PhantomsDad)
