Re: [orca-list] minor issues with braille support

Hey Kendell.

Thanks for sending me the debug.out. The traceback you sent looks a lot
like the issue described here:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/44319#comment138158. Attila provides the
traceback he got and what he had to do to fix it, namely use
"--enable-ucs4" when building liblouis.

Hope this helps.
