Re: [orca-list] I Broke Orca during an upgrade tonight

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Storm:

Thanks for the offer to update the WIKI. :-) I'll take you up on it.

sysconfdir is typically /etc

prefix is typically /usr

libexecdir is where at-spi-registryd will end up -- different distributions seem to like to do their own 
thing.

Hope this helps, and thanks for updating the WIKI!

Will
