Re: Orca on Ubuntu LTS 6.06

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Chida:

I think the problem is that you've installed Orca in a place that Python
cannot find by default.  You need to tell Python where to look.  Here's
a snippet from the Orca FAQ at
http://live.gnome.org/Orca/FrequentlyAskedQuestions:

"Do I have to install into /usr?

No. You can install to and run orca from nearly anywhere you want,
including directories owned by you. When you run ./configure, you can
pass it a prefix that points to some other location (e.g., --prefix=
$HOME/orca). If you do this, you need to define PYTHONPATH to point to
the lib/python2.4/site-packages directory (e.g., PYTHONPATH=
$HOME/orca/lib/python2.4/site-packages). You can then run orca from this
new location (e.g., $HOME/orca/bin/orca)."

Hope this helps,

Will
