hmmm, when i add just the one ratts~ object to a new patch, I get the console output below, so it seems like maybe none of the objects are being created?

ratts
... couldn't create
 klatt~ mspf 5
... couldn't create
 rattshread $1-dict
... couldn't create
 number2text
... couldn't create
 guessphones
... couldn't create
 phones2holmes
... couldn't create
 rattstok
... couldn't create
 toupper
... couldn't create
 spellout
... couldn't create
 holmes
... couldn't create

when I do a find last error, I get: "no findable error yet"

moin DH,

never tried it on OSX myself, but [ratts~] is just an abstraction.  try
looking at the help files for e.g. [klatt~], [holmes], and the like to
figure out at least which object is complaining at you... it may be that
something in ratts is indeed broken (your error message looks hauntingly
familiar, but I can't remember in what context I last saw it...), but I
suspect there may be an easier fix...

Compiled and running on osx 10.5.3 (flite as well) but getting errors:

Can anyone help -- has anyone successfully used this object on leopard?
