Assuming you're on a 32-bit openSUSE machine:

1. Update intltool

        a.  First, remove intltool by running:  zypper rm intltool (as root)

        b.  svn checkout http://svn.gnome.org/svn/intltool/trunk intltool ; 
            cd intltool

        c.  ./autogen ; make ; sudo make install

2. Install python development packages

        a.  zypper in python-devel (run this as root)

3. Update Orca

        a.  First, remove orca by running:  zypper rm orca (as root)

        b.  svn checkout http://svn.gnome.org/svn/orca/trunk orca ;
            cd orca

        c.  ./autogen ; make ; sudo make install

That should be all you need.
