[Xastir] Re Festival

[Tom Robson]

Chris/Mike:

Can you get festival to talk at all?

If it will talk, perhaps you need to put the following in your rc.local

# Add server to make Sound Speech Synthesizer work for Xastir
/usr/local/bin/festival --server &

I have had it running for a long time now, but kinda forgot how I installed 
it, but as I recall it was from the tarballs (not rpm's) and followed the 
instructions.

Hope this helps...
