> Hello, For espeak, if compiling, you probably need the devel rpm for portaudio. For festival, just executing "festival --server" will not return to the shell, so scripts cannot continue. The solution is to use start-stop-daemon starting festival in the background, if festival was from a rpm you probably have a script installed in the startup script directory, you just need that to be executed on start up (I don't know how you do this on fedora).
