Flite text to speech does not work with command line text

[JimLS]

I set up Festival on Fedora 10 first and decided to switch to flite so did a
yum install flite
This appeared to just update flite - apparently it was already there.

Now I get output when I type something like:
flite outputfilename

But no output when I put the text on the command line like many of the test examples:
flite -t "Hello"
or
flite -t "Hello" -o play

It doesn't seem to generate any errors and when I include the -v verbose switch it reports the speed and time length of output with what seem like reasonable numbers.

I haven't found anything on this sort of problem. Strange that one variation works and the other doesn't. Any ideas?

Try using the following format: /usr/bin/flite -t "See you next week" /tmp/play.wav; play /tmp/play.wav; rm /tmp/play.wav
