Re: [orca-list] installing orca on debian

[Alonzo <mariachiac aim com>]

I'll include the previous message that I wrote to Jason since it did not
get posted to the list.
One thing to add here was I did do the process to build the dependencies
and got the errors attatched to my first message when trying to install
at-spi.

Hello Jason,

How stable is debian experimental? I could beleive upgrade from lenny to
experimental. I could try that and see what happens. However, this
happened when trying to install at-spi, not Orca itself.
So does it still apply?
