Re: [orca-list] OK: Orca Version number...

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Chris:

Ah - good.  You have a pretty recent version of Orca.  From there, you 
should be able to try Orca from SVN trunk out.

Please read http://live.gnome.org/Orca/DownloadInstall.  The most 
relevant commands on that page are:

1) Getting your build environment:

   sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-orca
   sudo apt-get install subversion gnome-common automake1.9

2) Getting Orca from trunk:

   svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/orca/trunk orca
   cd orca
   ./autogen.sh
   make
   sudo make install

NOTE that you must do some reading and understanding of commands before 
typing them.  I cannot take responsibility for anything you type on your 
machine, and I cannot guarantee that I will be able to help you if you 
screw things up.  The above represent a load of dynamite, a handgun, and 
some rope.  When used with knowledge and care, however, they can do good 
things.

If you don't feel comfortable with the above, you're better off waiting 
until someone else has packaged things for you.  The fixes will be in 
the Orca v2.25.90 development release and the Orca v2.24.4 stable 
release.  The v2.25.90 release follows the GNOME 2.25.x release schedule 
and the Orca v2.24.4 release will be out sometime in early/mid Feb.
