asterisk users - Oct 2003 - Festival, Patch, Asterisk, etc.

Hi,

NOTE:  Sorry if this gets duplicated.  I sent a copy prior to joining
the list.  

Newbie here with a repetitive question.  How do I make the Festival TTS
system work w/ *?  I have festival installed (it came w/ RedHat9) but *
complains:

WARNING[1226530096]: File app_festival.c, Line 327 (festival_exec):
festival_client: connect to server failed

I have tested festival from the command line and it seems to work fine.
I guess I need to make one or more festival servers available to *.  How
is this done?  If somebody can point me to a series of previous postings
that spell this out, I will go to the wiki and create a new section on
Festival + *.  I promise.  Really.

Thanks,

Steve

Read the "README.festival" file in the Asterisk source.  You need to
patch Festival to get it to run with Asterisk.  (In other words, the
version of festival that came with RedHat *will not* work.)  You also
need to be sure you start the festival server (as explained in step 3 of
the README.festival file) before you start Asterisk.
