[orca-list] errors running revision3783

[Eric Kosten <ekosten gmail com>]

Hello list.  I used svn update to update to the latest revision as reported by:
svn update
As the update was at the latest version, it had nothing else to pull via svn.
When running orca from gnome-terminal, I recieve the following error or similar errors as I had to run the 
orca command 
via console and as usual text console is going to give "cannot open display"
I updated from the prevous orca 2.23.03, not sure if I have the numbering correct.
The error is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/orca/orca.py", line 59, in <module>

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 67, in _init

thanks for your help!
