Re: Gnopernicus error message.

Hi, it looks like Bill is right. Adi asked me to write down the exact
message I got, and now test-speech fails on both festival and viavoice.
So it would appear the problem Nath and I have been experiencing must be in
the gnome-speech libraries.
That's rather strange that it would give an activation success one time, and
activation failed upon restart.
Now, I am only getting activation failed. If you want a copy of the
activation failed messages let me know, and I'll send them onto you.
