Hi:

There might be two things going on here:

1) The GNOME accessibility solution requires you to go through an 
unfortunate step of first enabling accessibility.

2) The first time you run orca, it will prompt you for your preferences. 
 If accessibility has been enabled, this will default to the Orca 
preferences GUI.  If accessibility has not been enabled, this will 
default to command line prompts with speech.

So, you might be running into #2 and the situation where accessibility 
has not been enabled.  In this case, Orca is asking you things such as 
which speech synthesizer you want to use, if you want key echo, etc.  If 
you answer the questions, then Orca will have the information it needs. 
 You then need to logout and log back in for accessibility to be 
enabled and Orca should function normally.

Feel free also to join the orca list 
(http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orca-list) where there's a large 
community of users and developers that can help you.
