Re: [orca-list] Need Orca installation tip/guidelines

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

You'll be better off if you can use Fedora 9 rather than RHEL 5 (which
is basically FC-6).

Every month or so someone comes along insisting they will get Orca
working on RHEL--but Orca/AT-SPI development has moved rapidly since
FC-6, and I'm unaware that anyone has succeeded at overcoming the
problem of running today's Gnome AT on almost two year old distros.


If you must run RHEL, consider putting F-9 in a vm, or on a separate
machine, and using ssh to get at the RHEL system.
