Re: [orca-list] bringing up the preference dialog

[covici ccs covici com]

OK, I got it working, but I had to change the code.  Maybe this is
different from yours, but in orca_platform.py in the
<site-packagesdirectory>/orca the data directory was actually
@DATADIRNAMe@ instead of /usr/share which it should be, so on line 514
of orca.py I ommitted the prefix value, and changed the data directory
in orca_platform.py to be actually what it should be i.e. /usr/share.
So, it sounds like some kind of build problem combined with an actual
bug.
