I'm running Etch having upgraded from Sarge. it's important that you make 
sure that you have Gnome 2.14 or higher for Orca to run.. When you 
configure it, you'll get error messages if not all dependencies are met. 
You can then go and get them and start again. However, you won't get an 
error message if you don't have Pyorbit installed. You can run configure, 
make and make install without any problems, but Orca won't run. So make 
sure that you've got Pyorbit installed.
