gnome, orca and enterprise linux

["Donald Raikes" <don raikes oracle com>]

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:

My desire is to get an environment stable enough to perform accessibility testing of Oracle JDeveloper and Oracle database management tools.  Oracle would prefer that I use enterprise linux rather than one of the more "accessible" flavors like ubuntu, fedora, or debian.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
