i am not able to run the demo of the freetts library in my system. I have posted this on the forum of freetts but haven't got any reply yet. I am trying to run the HelloWorld demo, When i am running the following command, 

ant -find demo.xml

i am getting the following output:

Searching for demo.xml ...
Buildfile: /home/pranay/Downloads/freetts-1.2.2-bin/freetts-1.2/demo.xml
make_lib_dir:
compile_demo_util:

BUILD FAILED
/home/pranay/Downloads/freetts-1.2.2-bin/freetts-1.2/demo.xml:86: srcdir      "/home/pranay/Downloads/freetts-1.2.2-bin/freetts-1.2/demo/util" does not exist!
Total time: 0 seconds

I can see a jar file HelloWorld.jar in the freetts/bin folder but when i run :

java -jar bin/HelloWorld.jar

I get that unable to access the jar file, i even tried accessing it becoming a super user.

Please if someone has used the freetts ,help me on this. Thanks.

    That doesn't sound right. What are the permissions on the jar, i.e. `ls -la bin/HelloWorld.jar`? What are the permissions on the bin directory? What error are you seeing? Do you need to set a classpath (or `-cp`) to include the freetts.jar when you run HelloWorld? – Rup Jul 30 '10 at 16:57
  • i changed the permissions to 777 and also had added the freetts.jar file in the classpath earlier – pranay Jul 30 '10 at 17:17
  • Also , when i tried using -cp i got the following output: All general Mode JSAPI Synthesizers and Voices: System property "mbrola.base" is undefined. Will not use MBROLA voices. FreeTTS en_US general synthesizer (mode=general, locale=en_US): kevin kevin16 Using voice: kevin16 System property "mbrola.base" is undefined. Will not use MBROLA voices. but no sound heard – pranay Jul 30 '10 at 17:29
