dear list,
I have attempted to install orca from sources on my ubuntu gutsy machine today, but now my system is muted.
1. I have made sure that my system is up to date: sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade.
2. I issued the commands: sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-orca and sudo apt-get install subversion gnome-common automake1.9 with no troubles except for a warning that some packages were not authenticated and it asked me if if I want to install them anyway, so I answered yes.
3. I then grabbed the latest sources from orca, svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/orca/trunk orca, it was revision 3720.
4. I then changed to the orca directory, cd orca, and did a sudo ./autogen here it did its thing, but warned me that I passed no arguments to autogen.sh. is this still true? I remember in the passed we used to pass the location of orca in /usr/lib or so.
5. I then did a make and then sudo make install which went fine.
but now orca is silent. I repooted and then went to run and typed orca, nothing happens, not even a warning. same if I run orca from the terminal. what can I do?
All the best,
Mohammed al-shar'
