Comment 1 Peter Gückel 2011-01-13 08:44:02 UTC
I got it to work.

It was an old problem that has resurfaced: KDE does not set MALLOC_CHECK_ to 0.

festival will not run unless MALLOC_CHECK_=0.

echo $MALLOC_CHECK_ returned 3, so I ran export MALLOC_CHECK_=0 and festival ran just fine.

Why is KDE not setting this variable correctly; or
why does festival insist on having this variable set to 0, while other programs don't care?
