Error while executing prepare_labels.sh script

[priyanthini]

I tried labeling as follows in merlin:

./02_prepare_labels.sh ./database/wav/ ./database/utts.data ./database/labels/

It is giving a long error as :

Please someone help me to solve this error.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, I think you are facing the "festival version" problem. I did a pull request to use a more up to date festival (see #481 ). Maybe have a look there

[priyanthini]

@seblemaguer Eventhough I edited the compile_other_speech_tools.sh as given in the link you have provided, I get the same error again and again.
What can I do now?

[prajwaljpj]

Were you able to solve this problem? I am facing the same issue with Festival, speech_tools and festvox in their latest commit.

I actually manually copied my labels (created in festival) in database/labels/label_phone_align folder.

I also get the same error. What is the solution? @priyanthini
