Re: [orca-list] Orca silent

Hi, Storm, and thanks for the suggestions.  I'm sorry to say that trying 
either spd-say "hello" or the command speech-dispatcher gives me

setlocale: No such file or directory

I installed speech-dispatcher-git and got the same thing.  (I had to use 
this Windows machine to get the link." I think there's a man page for 
setlocale, but I couldn't figure out what it had to do with 
speech-dispatcher.  I certainly couldn't figure out how any relevant 
file or directory by that name got removed or where it's supposed to be.

Anybody have any ideas?
