[orca-list] orca ATSPI error - someone help

[Justin Harford <blindstein gmail com>]

In starting a new with ubuntu 11.10, I made a vow that I would stay out of trouble, but I swear trouble seems 
to follow me wherever I go. lol 

My orca still continues to be out of commission ever since the thunderbird affair, and it is giving the 
following output:

blindstein blindstein-AOD257:~$ orca
ERROR:root:Could not find any typelib for Atspi
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/orca/orca.py", line 49, in <module>
    import pyatspi
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pyatspi/__init__.py", line 17, in <module>
    from gi.repository import Atspi
ImportError: cannot import name Atspi
blindstein blindstein-AOD257:~$ orca

What can I do about this? Would compiling orca again fix the problem? 

Regards
