[Xastir] festival problems

[Wes Johnston]

Ohhh... I remember this one!!!

I had to change my /etc/hosts file....

Mine did say MEPIS instead of 127.0.0.1, and it caused festival to reject
connections..

#/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1	wes	localhost

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
# (added automatically by netbase upgrade)

::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
