[orca-list] building directories, downloading, and building orca



Hi all you orca people out there.  

I am trying to figure out how to install the more recent distribution of orca that apparently works with firefox.  I am getting my directions from the following source:


I am at the section under the header, Bilding and installing.  I did the download command previously indicated before this section so I think I need to do the svn build thing.  Here is what I actually typed just in case there is something I missed.  


Now I guess I am supposed to cd to the resulting directory from the terminal window (everything I have done with this has been in the terminal window I hope that is right) then I need to execute the following commands.  

cd trunk
../autogen --prefix=/usr
mmake
sudo make install


hmmm.  Well I don't know how to find the resulting directory so could someone explain this all to a guy who has little to know experience with linux or command line, off list if you prefer.
