Re: [orca-list] Status of SVN trunk

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Thanks for that suggestion, it seemes to have solved the issues where I
would say orca wasn't working. Note: On slackware, /usr/libexec is the
correct directory for --libexecdir (using gnome slacky packages for
gnome). In fact /usr/libexec is the default for --libexecdir if prefix
has been set to /usr. I have created a package in slackware for this
(based on the slackBuild script from gnome slacky) so could share this
with others should they want it.
