Re: Orca setting up orca in ubuntu

[Cody Hurst <churst35 verizon net>]

Mike,

the latest version of orca already comes with edgy, its version 1.0.
While this is not the latest version simply downloading orca 2.17.2 from
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/orca/2.17/orca-2.17.2.tar.gz then
extracting it, changing to the directory and running

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
then as root do
make install
