Re: [orca-list] Problem with contracted braille

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Alastair:

When you built liblouis, did you follow the instructions at 
http://live.gnome.org/Orca/Braille?  There is a special command line 
switch you need to add to the configure line, and it varies depending 
upon the platform you are building on.
