Public bug reported:
I tried using all of the mbrola files named by espeak-ng --voices=de :
Pty Language Age/Gender VoiceName File Other
Languages
5 de --/M German gmw/de
6 de --/F german-mbrola-1 mb/mb-de1
6 de --/M german-mbrola-2 mb/mb-de2
6 de --/F german-mbrola-3 mb/mb-de3
6 de --/M german-mbrola-4 mb/mb-de4
6 de --/M german-mbrola-6 mb/mb-de6
7 de --/F german-mbrola-5 mb/mb-de5
7 de --/F german-mbrola-7 mb/mb-de7
espeak-ng -vmb-de1 "Test"
gives me:
mbrola: FATAL ERROR : cannot find file /usr/share/mbrola/de1/de1 !
mbrowrap error: mbrola closed stderr and did not exit
Error: Could not load the specified mbrola voice file.
It does speak, though, seemingly using a default voice.
/usr/share/mbrola does not exist.
The files actually seem to reside in
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/espeak-ng-data/voices/mb
I doubt that I can solve this via a simple symbolic link because
seemingly the expected directory structure is different: all mbrola
files are in the mb directory; there are no subdirectories like /de/de1
or similar.
