Re: Orca what went wrong?

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi All:

It is indeed possible to install/use Orca from places other than /usr.
For more information on what you need to do (basically set PYTHONPATH),
please refer to the "Do I have to install into /usr?" question of the
FAQ:

  http://live.gnome.org/Orca/FrequentlyAskedQuestions

I think the underlying problem here is that the moon and the stars needs
to be aligned for gnome-speech and PyORBit to play well with each other.
I'm guessing there probably is some environment variable that needs to
be set (LD_LIBRARY_PATH?), but I've never really figured this out.
There are people far more passionate about not using --prefix=/usr than
I am - I'm wondering if they may be able to help out here?
