Re: [orca-list] Problems installing orca on quite old system

[MichaÅ Zegan <webczat_200 poczta onet pl>]

Espeak is not and will never be in the menu.
Uninstall festival, install espeak, run orca. even the older one.
I recommend removing your settings file if you had one, and ensuring
that you have only espeak available.
It's the easiest way, if only espeak is available, then only espeak
should be able to start up.
And what gnome version are you using?
