Re: Perlbox Voice for Tk

[robert b <http://dummy.us.eu.org/robert>]

OK.  I decided to "go for the gold" and upgrading my machine to "Debian unstable".  This version
has Perl 5.8.0.  So that part works now.

Now, I'm getting another error:

Perlbox-VoiceServer.pm :There are no running festival servers!
Perlbox-VoiceServer.pm :Attemting to start a festival server...
sh: line 1: festival_server: command not found
Perlbox-VoiceServer.pm :Could not start festival server.
Make sure festival is installed, in your path and you have permissions
Cannot open
'/usr/local/src/cmusphinx/perlbox-voice-tk.0.01/lib/perlbox-voice.001/Perlbox/pixels/splash.gif'
in mode 'r' at /usr/lib/perl5/Tk/Image.pm line 21.

Apparently, I'm running festival 1.4.2-2.1.  Is that the version you're running?
