[mary-users] Voice-Import F0PolynomialFeatureFileWriter Errors

[Ingmar Steiner]

Dear Margot,

I'm afraid I don't get any of the errors you describe in a vanilla voice build. Just so we're on the same page, could I ask you to do the following:

1) Create a new, empty voicebuilding directory.

2) In that new directory, create symlinks to the wav, text, and lab directories in your original voicebuilding directory (you could also just copy them, but this saves space).

3) Run *all* of the voice import components afresh in the new voicebuilding directory. In particular, please *do not* copy over the database.config from the non-working voicebuilding directory.

If any of the errors persist, please report back with full debug info, including the output from DatabaseImportMain. See http://mary.opendfki.de/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#bugreport.

Best wishes,
