Re: Problems with Fedora Core 4 /test-speech {festival/freeTTS} [BUG]

Hi

I have been able to run my festival/gnome-speech combination on a Fedora Core 4. But it does bring me to a CPU hopping and system "stopping" bug in 
festival-synthesis-driver.

1. How to make it work for festival client/server [in Fedora Core 4]
In the file /usr/share/festival/siteinit.scm, add the following line:
(set! server_access_list '("HOSTNAME_REGULAR_EXPRESSION"))
where HOSTNAME_REGULAR_EXPRESSION is a string identifying your machine's hostname.

Ref: http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/manual/festival_toc.html

2. Error in festival-synthesis-driver
In festival client exists when it is not able to connect to a festival --server, the festival-synthesis-driver should clean up your child processes then not hog CPU and gracefully exit.
