Re: Execute orca

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Sergio:

I just checked in a new version of the QUICKSTART document.  It
provides an apt-get method for obtaining various AT-SPI infrastructure
needed by Orca: atk, gail, libgail-gnome, and at-spi.  If the
anonymous GNOME CVS site is slow to get these revisions, the
key command is:

sudo apt-get install libatk* libgail* at-spi* libatspi*

This should obtain the following versions:

      atk               1.10.3
      gail              1.8.5
      libgail-gnome     1.1.1
      at-spi            1.6.6

Note, however, that Orca is under continual development and we
are logging bugs as we go.  Even the above components may have
bugs in them that have been fixed in later versions.  As these
bugs are fixed, we become dependent upon them.  We're doing our
best to track these bugs here, providing us and others with the
ability to make a choice about what to install:

Welcome to the bleeding (and often painful) edge!  :-)
