Re: [orca-list] OT:A newbie Arh Q or two

I did that Peter but for some reason it's not showing up in Orca's synth 
list.


Here's what I did.


1. sudo pacman -S  espeak-NG.It auto removed espeak


2. sudo pacman -S espeak-ng (this actually installed espeak-NG)

3. went into /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf ad uncomented the 
espeak-ng line, and recommented espeak since I removed that.


4. Restarted my system. No luck. I have other synths on here that work, 
but no sign of espeak-NG in the synths list.


Also, can't I just  get an AUR  browser and install orca-git directly, 
I'll assume the usual build instructions also work for Arch? I've not  
reread the build page in ages thoughf
