Re: [orca-list] Cepstral Swift

["David E. Price" <deprice cs utah edu>]

Hi,

I just upgraded my laptop to Intrepid and installed Cepstral Callie. 
Unfortunately, the gnome-speech-swift package doesn't complete the 
configuration.  However, adding /opt/swift/lib to ld.so.conf and running 
ldconfig as root (sudo ldconfig) fixes the problem. (These instructions are 
on the page Will referenced.)

Good luck,

dave
