I have an old old linux 2.6 VM that I keep around just for Festival 1.95 and the JMK Multisyn voice. Try as I might to get multisyn working, I have not had any success on my Ubuntu 18.04 setup. I can't get Festival 1.95 working, and when I copy in the old jmk multisyn voice, I get the error below. I do have the jmk cg voice, but it feels 'flat' compared to the voice that we've been using for over a decade.
I've feel trying things for weeks, with no luck. Hopefully someone might have some advice or suggestions!
