[g-a-devel] bonobo-activating gnome-speech causes exception

[Aditya Pandey <aditya kumar pandey gmail com>]

I have been trying to implement a prototype for my app's interface to
gnome-speech for some time.

The code behaves quite erraticly -- some time festival driver [default
so I am using it] is instantiated correctly [so everything works just
fine] and some times only bonobo-activate and festival-synthe
processes get instantiated and final festival process does not.

I set the BONOBO_ACTIVATION_DEBUG_OUTPUT =1 so that correct message
behind this failure could be seen. Seeking help/guidance on this
problem.

Here is the relevant code:
		int num_arg = 0;
		CORBA_Environment ev;
  
		CORBA_exception_init (&ev);
		if (!bonobo_init (&num_arg, NULL))
		{
			printf ("Can't initialize Bonobo...\n");
			return false;
		}
                servers = bonobo_activation_query (
		"repo_ids.has ('IDL:GNOME/Speech/SynthesisDriver:0.2')",
		NULL, ev);
                if (BONOBO_EX (ev)) {
		        return CORBA_OBJECT_NIL;
	        }
                if (!servers)
		        return CORBA_OBJECT_NIL;
	        i =0;
	        info = &servers->_buffer[i];
	        rv = bonobo_activation_activate_from_id (
		       (const Bonobo_ActivationID) info->iid,
         	       0, NULL, ev);
	        CORBA_free (servers);

Here is what I get as error message:
