Has anyone succeeded in making use of ...pkgsrc/audio/festival? After
building it, and trying to run it, I see the following results:
/~~~
$ echo 'hello' | festival --tts
Floating point exception
Cannot open file /tmp/est_09992_00000.au as tokenstream
Wave load: can't open file "/tmp/est_09992_00000.au"
Cannot load wavefile: /tmp/est_09992_00000.au
Can't access NAS server (null)
$

No sound is heard.
FWIW: This is on NetBSD/i386 1.5 (proper), with the auvia audio device.
A custom kernel is used, but no changes have been made to kernel source.
uname -a is:
NetBSD rkr1 1.5 NetBSD 1.5 (rkrGENERIC) #5: Fri Feb 16 18:42:00 CST 2001
root@rkr1:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/rkrGENERIC i386
Has anyone else tried to use this package recently? On which, if any,
systems does it work?
(I do have a pkgsrc/audio/festvox-* package installed... Running without
one of those isntalled causes festival to complain about the absence of a
voice file.)
