Ashis,

As for the braille requirements, as long as you have brltty 3.8 or later installed, and have the braille 
display working in a console window, then you should be fine.

The effort involved in setting up a current version of gnome, in my experience is quite large.

I have been doing this (partly as a work assignment, but mostly on my own time), and have not yet been 
successful.

If you do not need the absolute latest versions of everything then compiling 
orca atk, at-spi and gail will get you up and running, however you miss out on a lot of the really nice 
advancements made over the last year or so.

If you want to get the latest and greatest, the biggest stumbling block is that you need to update 
gnome-session so that it will start the at-spi registry, and that involves a lot of dependencies.

I hope to get backto this work in a couple more weeks, but I needed a "stable" linux platform for some other 
testing so I went with fedora 9 for now. I have been successful with ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04 as well, but they 
are not supported for the software I am testing.

Don/William,

I'm I headed down the write path on the software?   What are the Braille
input devices requirements?  Should we initiate on 32-bit or 64-bit?

In general, what kind of work effort are we looking at?

Ashis,

I have been working on a similar project only on an i386 machine.
It is not a pretty picture at all.

The overall build envionment on rhel5 is not quite updated enough to be
able to just build gnome and go.
I have tried using both garnome 2.22.1 and the latest jhbuild withot
success.

William/Orca Project,

You've mostly likely been in contact with Louis J. Maher.

I'm working with him to install Orac on a RHEL5 machine and needed to
determine what are going to be the steps/software/etc. that is going to be
required to get this set-up.  I'm looking to get an overall picture of what
is going to be involved & how things work.  A big request, but I need an
understanding of building and interactions of how this works.  In addition,
the Braille device, what are the dependancies on building/compiling to the
specific Braille device?

Here is what I have so far:
   RHEL 5.0 (64-bit)
   GNOME v2.22 or v2.23 w/ Orca Screen Reader v2.22 or v.2.23
   BrITTY v3.8 or better
   Java Access Bridge (JABG) v1.5
   Java v6 to build/compile JABG
   Common Build Environment JDS CBE v1.6
   ATK v2.0, GAIL v1.8.11, AT-SPI v1.7.7 will need to compiled & installed

Thanks.
