9 Hello,
10 I'm trying to get orca going on gentoo. The gnome version used is 2.26. I've
11 tried googling and asking on the orca mailing list, without success.
12 I installed gentoo following the handbook except used a serial terminal,
13 this is in a virtual machine as i unfortunately only have one machine. Later
14 i proceeded to install gnome, which failed. Before the install would
15 complete successfully libxml2 needed to be installed. I next installed orca
16 and started up gnome. I had to make some changes to custom.conf so i could
17 log in and loaded the accessibility modules per instructions on the orca
18 site. When i tried to start orca via either the alt+f2, orca or in a
19 terminal with orca --text-setup i get to the second screen where i'm
20 prompted for the speech server always i choose gnome speech and then i hear
21 no more speech. I've also installed the java-access-bridge, but am assuming
22 there's a configuration step i'm missing.
23 Any suggestions appreciated.
24 Thanks.
25 Dave.
