Re: [orca-list] Fedora install guide

["Scott Ford" <scotte ford gmail com>]

Hi Janina, and list,
        I installed FC9 last weekend and I cannot get orca to run out of the
box.  When I login and type orca the preference window begins to appear,
then goes away. A second passes and orca says something un decipherable then
says choose y or n.  I am assuming that it is trying to configure orca and
is failing.  No matter which on I choose I do not get any speech after this.
I do not know what to do; however the document that Chris may give me a lead
on how I can fix it.  I do agree with you Jina I would rather just be able
to use the technology.  On another note I cannot seem to get my ttsynth core
to install.  I get an error telling me that I do not have a library that is
in fact installed.  I am a bit frustrated at this point.  I would love to
have the amount of time it takes to dedicate to completely understanding the
why and how of Linux.  I would appreciate any assistance.  Thanks in
advanced.
Scott

If you'd like, I'd be happy to read it and give you feedback.

PS: Is there some particular reason you feel it necessary to build Orca
for Fedora? Some reason why the Red Hat supplied rpm packages of Orca
aren't acceptable? If so, perhaps we should tell Red Hat to do things
differently, rather than telling people they have to build Orca
themselves. After all, I suspect most users want to use the technology
to do tasks, and not to get all involved in building and configuring.
