As another Arch user, I can't say I had the problems you encountered
but I believe I already had Cepstral sitting around on my system so if
I recall, it may have found Cepstral to use.  I'm gonna have to take a
spare box around here and see if I can install Arcdh from scratch and
then see how gnome will install.  I do recall installing the gnome
group and also having to install the gnome-extras group.  Without the
extras group, Orca either wasn't even there or wouldn't work.

Sorry to be so vague but don't remember exactly how things went last
summer when I did this; but all and all, I thought it went pretty
smoothly.
