I'm having a hard time to get Festival working. I am using Kttsmgr. I 
can't get any of the Talkers to work. I did a search for Festival.
These are the only packages I could find installed:

Debian:~# aptitude search ~dfestival
i   festival                                   - General multi-lingual 
speech synthesis system
i A kttsd                                      - a Text-to-Speech system 
for KDE
i A libestools1.2                              - Edinburgh Speech Tools 
Library

I'm not sure what the package is called for:"
the CMU Arctic female voice"
I'm using Debian Lenny.

Thanks
