Hi all, I have posted much of this to the orca-list so my appologies for the cross-posting.
My situation is that I am needing to run oracle enterprise linus 5.0.01 (a derrivative of rhel 5.0). It coms with orca-1.0-2.fc6, and associated packages. All was fine when I installed the o/s. However, I wanted to make a couple of small changes like adding braille support, and adding the ttsynth speech synthesizer. So, I did the following: Installed Pyrex-0.9.3.1 (from rpm package) Installed (compiled from a tarball) brltty-3.8 Installed ttsynth (from rpm package). Installed gnome-speech-0.4.16 (from tarball) Installed: orca-2.20.3 (from tarball) So far so good. All was working fine for a short time. Then the whole system locked up and after forcing a reboot, I had no ttsynth available in gnome-speech. Now I decided to bring things up-to-date and install the latest orca to gain any benefits from recent developments. Having been down this road before, I knew that I needed to install atk, gail and at-spi first. So I compiled them from tarballs all taken from March 10 of this year. Now when I try to start orca, I get the following errors: Bonobo accessibility support initialized (gnome-session:4388): atk-bridge-WARNING **: AT_SPI_REGISTRY was not started at session startup.
