[Xastir] re the problem that I asked about earlier

[Tom Russo]

The festival error will happen if you have not in fact started the
festival daemon.  Did you?

It is not really a problem unless you are expecting text-to-speech.  

As for your bitmap error:
Did you build Xastir from source, or are you installing from a package.

If you are running a build from source, it installs all its stuff into
/usr/local/share/xastir, and should be finding the symbols file.

If you're running from a package, that stuff is usually in /usr/share/xastir
instead, and getting this message means you probably have an xastir.cnf
file that is left over from a source-built install (that is, it contains
configuration for Xastir to look in /usr/local/share/xastir, but the package
didn't install stuff there).

The PID errors would have nothing to do with either of these problems --- 
those are a sign that Xastir either crashed or was killed without cleaning
up its children processes.

These are three different issues, and each will have a different solution.

 -- For festival:  start the festival daemon
 -- for the bitmap issue: make sure your xastir.cnf actually contains
    the appropriate paths for the binary you're actually running; either
    remove xastir.cnf and let xastir build you a new one, or fix the paths
    to point at where things are really installed.  Double check that you
    don't have both a package for Xastir installed *and* a binary you built
    from source lying around, so that there's no chance you're accidentally
    running the wrong one.
 -- The pid issue is the one that is more problematic, and Jason's questions
    about running processes are what will get to the bottom of that one.
