It could be that your Python search path (not the same as your operating system's $PATH variable) does not include the correct directory under /usr/local to find the bindings. You could of course us the find command and the other usual tools to find out what has been installed and where it is. More generally, I would suggest that installing so much software under /usr/local is really not a good idea and that you would have a much less painful experience by learning to update and rebuild your distribution's packages of BRLTTY and other components. They would then be installed under /usr rather than /usr/local, and you could upgrade or downgrade at will by simply installing a different packaged version. I've had experience of having to find and remove unwanted files under /usr/local and also of programs that pick up outdated files from there which I hadn't deleted, and which caused problems later on. In other words, I've been down the /usr/local route and I don't want to go there again. _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
