Re: [orca-list] Arch Linux Problems (was Re: Orca Completely BROKEN Under GNOME 3.2!!!)

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

I just wanna thank those of you who helped with constructive answers
and especially to Chris Brannon publically for helping me figure out
the problem I was having.  Apparently, my installation of
python2-gobject version 3.0 was corrupted or missing files or
something.  I reinstalled that package directly from the Arch testing
repo. and I am pleased to say that I can run Orca again and also for
no extra charge, I can compile orca from git without errors.

So now back to our normal debugging programming. <smile>
