Re: [orca-list] Need Orca installation tip/guidelines

All -

   Would waiting for RHEL6 make sense?
   Is it wiser to start without the latest & greatest GNOME, Orac, BrITTY
   versions?  If there have been great strides in Orca/AT-SPI development
   does it make sense to really attempt to use the older versions?  What
   advancements will be lacking?
   Has testing only been completed on 32-bit / 64-bit or both?

You'll be better off if you can use Fedora 9 rather than RHEL 5 (which
is basically FC-6).

Every month or so someone comes along insisting they will get Orca
working on RHEL--but Orca/AT-SPI development has moved rapidly since
FC-6, and I'm unaware that anyone has succeeded at overcoming the
problem of running today's Gnome AT on almost two year old distros.


If you must run RHEL, consider putting F-9 in a vm, or on a separate
machine, and using ssh to get at the RHEL system.
