Re: [orca-list] Current Status of Braille Support

["John J. Boyer" <john boyer jjb-software com>]

Thanks to all of you. I downloaded Orca, then installed Pyrex, then 
rebuilt brltty. the command python -c "import brlapi" says it can't find 
a shared object file, giving the name. Could there be a problem with the 
path?

I got RHEL preloaded from Dell and I've put a lot of work into it. I 
think I may just install the latest Gnome. I did this on another machine 
years ago, but I can't remember the URL now.

Thanks,
John
