Hi Rick,

lexicon english_poslex not defined
> These are the modules I have installed:
ii festival 1.4.2-2.1 speech synthesis system
ii festival-doc 1.4.0.1-6 Documentation for Festival
ii festlex-cmu 1.4.0-3 CMU dictionary for Festival
ii festlex-oald 1.4.0-1 Festival lexicon from Oxford Advanced
ii festlex-poslex 1.4.0-3 Part of speech lexicons and ngram from
festival works well on my standard woody system
i have same version of festival package (these are packages, not modules)
version of festlex-poslex however is 1.4.0-1 in woody
in unstable, version of festival is 1.4.3
maybe you are mixing incompatible versions ?
maybe if you upgrade festival to latest unstable it works again ?
or, if you are running woody (you didnt say),
then purging and replacing with standard versions fixes it ?
hope this helps,
Siward
