Hi Roland. I ran across this (or at least something similar) when I first tried Orca a few months ago. Then I read the following on the Orca wiki: --- Why doesn't Orca run on 64-bit Linux distributions? Orca itself should run on 64-bit Linux distributions. The main problem is with gnome-speech, which seems to have problems with Bonobo activation on 64-bit Linux boxes. OpenSolaris doesn't suffer from the 64-bit oddities, so you might consider it, or you might just install a 32-bit Linux distribution on your 64-bit box until we figure out what's going wrong with gnome-speech on a 64-bit Linux box. BTW, if you have a good idea of what's going wrong with gnome-speech on 64-bit Linux boxes, please feel free to help! --- source: http://live.gnome.org/Orca/FrequentlyAskedQuestions
I switched over to the 32-bit version and it seemed to solve the problem. HTH Joanie > As far as I've tracked down the problem there must be something going wrong > near the Bonobo interface.
