I have similar notes for the speech_tools package along with a patch I used. You may not need any of this, though, as it sounds like you have it running already. Be forewarned, I could never get festival to work right with Gnome Speech and Gnopernicus. This was quite a while ago, and those issues may be resolved now. I use FreeTTS exclusively now, as it works first time every time. One more thing that I remember now, the 1.95 beta version is what I couldn't get working. It has been a long time, but if I remember correctly GNOME speech only worked with the 1.4.3 version you can get here: http://festvox.org/packed/festival/free-1.4.3/ If the 1.95 version doesn't work (test speech program won't even work), then use the 1.4.3. If there is anything I can do to help out, let me know. I worked fairly hard learning the gnome-speech, gnopernicus, free-tts stuff as I wanted to get something in the book for the speech impaired. Don't be afraid to ask questions if things don't work right. Trust me, a Free TTS setup will work perfectly. The voices aren't that great, but it does work. If you need any help getting any of the Java stuff working, let me know. Hopefully everything is in the BLFS book that you should need.
