Hi Kristoffer.  It somewhat depends on which Linux distribution you are
using.

I'm using Debian, so I can only answer about that distribution.

For Debian, you need to edit the /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf
file.  Follow the comments in the file, and uncomment the festival and
port lines.

You will also need to edit your /etc/init.d/festival file.  You will
find a comment that says, "# comment out the following line to start a
festival server."

If memory serves, you also need to edit /usr/share/festival/festival.scm
and make sure that the name "localhost" is in the access list.

If you are running something other than Debian, then someone else will
have to answer your questions.

Gene
