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

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

ldconfig solved that problem. Now when I run ./configure in the orca 
directory it says "configure error: XML::Parser perl module required for 
intltool." Where do I get that?

It seems that no configure options are necessary to include braille 
support. Is this correct?

Thanks,
John
