Re: [orca-list] updating Orca

[José Vilmar Estácio de Souza <vilmar informal com br>]

Hi.
A while back I posted in the list steps to compile orca in ubuntu using 
the sources stored in the repository of orca. This means that you'll get 
a development version and my suggestion is that you install the new 
version in a directory different than the /usr directory.
In this way you can keep the original and stable orca in case of 
anything goes wrong.

I can resend the steps if necessary.
You need a relative new version of ubuntu to compile and install.
