Yes, it can be done quite easily. The main thing to watch for is the version of Festival you are trying to compile; 1.4 will not compile with the newer releases of GCC, but Festival has been updated to 1.95. The last time I checked, 1.95 was a beta but I had no problems using it. Download the 1.95 sources and any voices you wish to compile and issue the traditional ./configure;make;make install It will take some time to compile, but it's definitely doable.
