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

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Sometimes its necessary to run ldconfig after installing shared
libraries, did you do this? If you are using Redhat, then it might have
been better just to install the brltty pre-compiled binaries. Out of
interest which shared object file could not be found? It might help find
the problem.
