Re: [orca-list] updating Orca

[amir <mrdin8877 ymail com>]

Hi,
i was able to follow te instructions until "foo/bin/orca --replace" but 
then when pressing enter on that,         the newly orca starts. but if 
i exit the terminal, the screen reader closes. and when starting the 
orca again (windows+alt+s on ubuntu), the old orca starts instead of the 
new one. Any help?
