Re: [orca-list] Update orca

[Didier Spaier <didier slint fr>]

Hi John,

Python2 shouldn't get in the way, so remiving it shouldn't be necessary.
I have it installed and this doesn't hurt at all.

Did you try to run make after ./autogen.sh?
If not, please do that, is it should work despite the errors in the log.

Just to be sure please send the output of:
ls -l /usr/bin/python
possibly as an attachment

Also, please send me you full .configure.log as an attachment.
Don't worry about its size, I run my own email server in a VPS and
didn't set a size limit for attachments.

Take care,
Didier
