I am having lots of problems while compiling. But I was able to get a binary out of it. The problem I am having right now is after using the festival binary, I get:

festival> (SayText "Hello world")
SIOD ERROR: unbound variable : SayText

The main problem was I downloaded the latest version of Festival in /usr/local/src/Festival and built it.
And there is a festival.scm in the /usr/local/src/festival/lib and I was adding the above code in that file.
But Festival for some reason always picks up the scm file from /usr/share so you have to make the scm chnages there even if you downloaded a new Festival version.

Dont know why the Asterisk folks don't keep this code in the by default festival.scm in the /usr/share location. It would have been just plug and play.
Can you someone explain the reason just for my FYI.
