Missing voices in Festival

[Kent West <kent.west@infotech.acu.edu>]

Within the last day or so someone asked on this list about a text-to-speech
app and someone else suggested Festival. On a whim, I did an "apt-get
install festival" and everything appeared to install okay. However, when I
type "festival", I get an error message about "no default voice found in
('/usr/lib/festival/voices/')". There is no "voices" directory (but there
is a voices.scm" file), and I haven't been able to figure it out looking at
the man page or searching on the web for references to festival and voices.
Can anyone help me out here?

Thanks!
