Hello,
I don't know if there is something going on in Fedora, or
with Orca from master. However, I'm struggling to get Orca
installed from source, and I've seen a message about this a
few days ago as well, but it didn't seem to get a response.
First, I managed to get Fedora 36 installed, thanks to a
helpful list member, by first booting from USB, creating a
password for the liveuser account, logging out, and signing in
with the Gnome on Xorg option. The installer started speaking
after doing this, as otherwise, under wayland, it was
inaccessible.
My next step was to install Orca from source. I installed
the yelp-tools package, installed git, and removed the
existing Orca package. I then used DNF to get the dependencies
for Orca, cloned into the git repo, and went through the orca
install as I've been used to. ./autogen.sh > make > sudo
make install. Orca installed without error. However, when
attempting to start orca, I get an error about line 46, no
Orca module found. So I install Orca from the package manager,
and that seems to work, but Orca is then stuck at 42.1, rather
than being the master version. Additionally, I tried
installing Orca in a different location from the default
location, and attempted running it from that location, but ran
into the same line 46 no Orca module error.
* Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be going on
here?
* Has anyone found any solutions to the error that I, and
seemingly another list member seems to be having? Could there
be an issue with Orca from source?
I should say that recently, I've been experiencing a
similar issue with Orca not showing the correct version number
in Debian, when also attempting an install from source.
Thanks.
