Re: [orca-list] Orca and Vmware Workstation 12

[Bart Bunting <bart bunting net au>]

Hi again,

I've managed to sort of get vmware to work but without speech.

It is looking for a library in and can't find it.  By exporting the
location vmware works.

However it spits out a bunch of gtk warnings which I'm guessing have
something to do with why orca doesn't work.

Does this mean anything to anyone?
The command to get it to start is:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libglibmm-2.4.so.1

Then the errors are:

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "atk-bridge": /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libatspi.so.0: undefined symbol:

Looks to me like at-spy isn't loading for some reason.

Thoughts?


Kind regards
