Sphinx2 and Festival are both managed by the same people. I run them 
simultaneously on several of my systems. The software support for 
Sphinx2 and MH is very immature at the moment (read: buggy) and I can 
say that as I wrote it. ;) I have been extremely busy as of late and 
have not had the time to update it with some necessary fixes, but it 
does work on a few of my machines around my house. I run Gentoo Linux 
for most all my systems. You can check out my website to download the 
latest released version of the software as well as some install 
instructions for it. Oh, the homepage is http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/ 
and that also links to festival information and a whole slew of other 
projects.

If/when you have problems getting Sphinx running on your system, shoot 
me an email. I'll try and fix your issues in the software and make a new 
release. I have worked with some other people and got quite a few stupid 
little problems fixed, but I know there are more and I just haven't had 
the time to devote to it.
