asterisk users - Jun 2004 - Asterisk & Festival, not a happy couple

Hello,

I'm in the process of trying to get Festival to work with Asterisk. I 
followed the install process at  
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+festival+installation. To get the 
Festival to compile I had to add the patch described in the comments.  
Once added, Festival and the Speech tools compiled without error.

How ever, when ever I try to call the test extension, I get a busy 
signal and the following message in the console:

dotlnx*CLI>
    -- Executing Answer("SIP/10020020-55c0", "") in new
stack
    -- Executing Festival("SIP/10020020-55c0", "mary had a little
lamb")
in new stack
  == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/festival.conf':   == Parsing 
'/etc/asterisk/festival.conf': Found
Jun 28 16:35:17 WARNING[360466]: app_festival.c:439 festival_exec: 
Festival returned ER
  == Spawn extension (toto-start, 8400, 2) exited non-zero on 
'SIP/10020020-55c0'
dotlnx*CLI>


In the console from which I started the Festival server, I sometimes get 
the following being displayed:
SIOD ERROR: unbound variable : tts_textasterisk

I've confirmed the festival.conf file.
I've confirmed the festival server is running.

Asterisk version: v1-0_stable
Festival version:1.4.3
Speech tools version: 1.2.3

I've googled but had no luck.

Any help/pointers to info would be appreciated...

David

Check if the patch has been applied successfully. You will get this
error messages if you are using the unpatched festival.

It should work without any changes to the defaults.


Sorry, I did overlook the question until today. There is a lot of
traffic on this list.
