Hi! gespeaker does not find installed Mbrola-voices As requested in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gespeaker/+bug/919577 1) OS is Ubuntu 14.04, 64-bit 2) gespeaker package is 0.8.2_1, tried with git hub version as well, same thing 3) mbrola voices in /usr/share/mbrola/MBROLA/ (I copied de4, de5, de6, de7 files to that directory, but it doesn't make any difference, they are not found in the default path /usr/share/mrola/de4/de4 either, or anywhere else) 4) mbrola is 3.0h+1-1 5) espeak is 0.47.11-ubuntu1

it used to work with Ubuntu 12.04.

regards hank

Hi!

After some more tried directories, restarts of gespeaker etc, the mbrola voices are finally found in the default location, in /usr/share/mbrola, which has to be set in the mbrola settings window.

so long hank
