Re: problem with orca running

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Cody:

Thanks for your interest in Orca.  Sorry for the problems with
getting it going.  In order to help you better, can you please
let us know the following information?

1) Which operating system, distribution, release are you using?

2) Have you followed the instructions in the QUICKSTART document
   that comes with Orca?

In addition, try putting Orca under /usr instead of /usr/local:

     sudo make uninstall
     sudo make clean
     ./configure --prefix=/usr
     sudo make
     sudo make install

If this still fails, try running the Python shell and doing
"import orca.orca".  If this fails, it's because Python cannot
find the orca package.

Finally, don't feel shy about grabbing the latest sources from
GNOME CVS - Orca is going under a lot of development and we try
to make sure GNOME CVS always has the latest working code.

Will

PS - We are all out today for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, but
     will be back in the office tomorrow (Tue).
