[orca-list] solved: Re: how to update espeak?

[Peter Vágner <peter v datagate sk>]

Hello chris and all,
thanks for you replies I was able to remove espeak-data 1.26 by typing
apt-get remove espeak-data I then installed back espeak-data 1.21 along
with all the dependencies and I have then upgraded espeak manually.
So problem is solved.
I've also managed to download latest nightly of firefox 3 and download,
compile and install latest orca (2.21.0 pre). I seem to be unable to use
arrow keys to read webpages in FF3 so if I might miss something please
let me know I am going to get through the wiki to check I have done
everything as described.

Thanks all

Peter
