Re: [orca-list] Error while installing trunk version of Orca

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

This brings up a question for me; if I were to build Orca in a local
directory like what was suggested in this thread, how do you execute
that version when gnome starts? Do you have to modify your $PATH
variable or do  you have to modify some other start up parms in gnome?
