[mary-users] Unable to start MARY TTS server locally on MacBook Pro

[Ivana Kruijff-Korbayova]

Hi Mary-team,

I installed Mary 4.0 on a new MacBook Pro laptop (running OS 10.6  
Leopard), and unfortunately, I can't run it:

dhcp104-220:~ korbay$ /Applications/MARY\ TTS/bin/maryserver ; exit;
MARY server 4.0.0 starting as a HTTP server...Exception in thread  
"main" java.lang.NullPointerException: No mbrola binary found in /

As for java, this is what I have:
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_15-b03-219)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.1-b02-90, mixed mode)

Any suggestions, please?

Best,
Iv.
