Hello Guy,

yes, you need to run Festival in the server mode. This is however likely
not the cause of the problem you describe. If spd-say says it can't
connect, it means it can't connec to Speech Dispatcher. So I'd bet Speech
Dispatcher is not running. Please look at the end of /var/log/speech-dispatcher/speechd.log
(or similar, I'm not sure where the Fedora Core package places the log
files). If the file is empty, or you don't have any, chances are it
was not possible to create the logfile on your system. Then try running
Speech Dispatcher on the foreground like this
speech-dispatcher -s -l 5
and see what does it print out on the console.

One of these should give you a good idea about what is going wrong. If
it is something non-trivial, please write us, since maybe the package
needs fixing or something.

With regards,
Hynek Hanke
