Hello,
Yes, the path is the same one where the file is located.

Hi,

I'm puzzled.  (I'm a version behind you, running Gutsy, 32-bit.)  I'm not an

Orca developer, but I'm pretty sure that gail is needed for Orca to run 
properly.  So, the library should be in the load path.  Just out of 
curiosity, is that path in the error message where your libgail.so file is 
located? You can find it using (at a terminal prompt):

find /usr -name libgail.so -print

I know that mine is in /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libgail.so.

I'm afraid that someone who knows the internals of Linux better than I do 
needs to help you.  Good luck,

dave
