adding the following to `siteinit.scm' or per person by changing your `.festivalrc'. For example if you<br />
wish to change the default voice to the American one voice_ked_diphone<br />
(set! voice_default 'voice_ked_diphone)<br />
Note the single quote, and note that unlike in early versions voice_default is not a function you can call<br />
directly.<br />
A second level of customization is on a per user basis. After loading `init.scm', which includes<br />
`sitevars.scm' and `siteinit.scm' for local installation, <strong>Festival</strong> loads the file `.festivalrc' from<br />
the user's home directory (if it exists). This file may contain arbitrary <strong>Festival</strong> commands.<br />

Once compiled and site initialization is set up you should test to see if <strong>Festival</strong> can speak or not.<br />

If errors occur at this stage they are most likely to do with pathname problems. If any error messages are printed<br />
about non-existent files check that those pathnames point to where you intended them to be. Most of the (default)<br />
pathnames are dependent on the basic library path. Ensure that is correct. To find out what it has been set to, start the<br />
system without loading the init files.<br />

This should show the pathname you set in your `config/config'.<br />
If the system starts with no errors try to synthesize something<br />

Some files are only accessed at synthesis time so this may show up other problem pathnames. If it talks, you're in<br />
business, if it doesn't, here are some possible problems.<br />
If you get the error message<br />
Can't access NAS server<br />
You have selected NAS as the audio output but have no server running on that machine or your DISPLAY or<br />
AUDIOSERVER environment variable is not set properly for your output device. Either set these properly or change<br />
the audio output device in `lib/siteinit.scm' as described above.
