[orca-list] fedora 9 orca crashing

["Eric Kosten" <ekosten gmail com>]

I hope that my info as a new user is helpful and that someone here might be able to help; as this problem sure has me in a bind!

system info:

1.  fedora 9 speakup modified, kernel 2.6.25 if my tired brain is thinking correctly

2.  nvidia g force mx4000

3.  orca ver: 2.22 updated via svn

4.  atk, gail and at-spi were updated in the order written here.  used svn to update my existing sources no errorsduring build and install process

5.  I have working sound within the console

a discription of the problem:

1.  within gnome in run level 5, open orca from the run box: no sound and as to the screen, from a parcially sighted friend, nothing happens within the area of the desktop

2.  if I then go to gnome-terminal, and type orca  --text-setup, speech starts to speak but the below error comes up:

Please, if anyone can show me how to get further error info that might help, please e-mail me directly! I am in quite the bind! I have projects that are waiting for me to get back up and audio edit!

sincerely

Eric
