I'm guessing from this and later comments that you don't have any of the old ibmtts voices installed. Check for the existence of the file /opt/oralux/voxin/rfs32/eci.ini which is the config file that my version reads on startup. The error you're getting is one I had when doing a voxin instalation in the years before oralux made the process much easier. btw to check which file it was opening I used an old, brutal but robust approach: strace -f -ooutfile ./outloud outfile then contains every system call made by ./outloud and all the processes it spawns. Far, far too much information usually but a bit of judicious searching is often useful when all else fails.
