Re: [orca-list] versioning information (newbie question)

Hi Jim:

If I recall correctly, Gutsy is GNOME 2.20.  So, it's going to be 
somewhat out of date.  I cannot remember what exactly changed between 
2.20 and 2.22, but it might be possible to upgrade to the latest Orca 
from SVN by building/installing your atk, at-spi, gail, pyatspi, 
gnome-speech, and orca all from svn (with the exception of gail, which 
you should grab from the branches/gnome-2-22 branch).  If the previous 
sentence makes you scratch your head and say "what the what?", then I'd 
strongly advise you don't attempt it.  :-)
