Hello, I'm trying to get orca going on gentoo. The gnome version used is 2.26. I've tried googling and asking on the orca mailing list, without success. I installed gentoo following the handbook except used a serial terminal, this is in a virtual machine as i unfortunately only have one machine. Later i proceeded to install gnome, which failed. Before the install would complete successfully libxml2 needed to be installed. I next installed orca and started up gnome. I had to make some changes to custom.conf so i could log in and loaded the accessibility modules per instructions on the orca site. When i tried to start orca via either the alt+f2, orca or in a terminal with orca --text-setup i get to the second screen where i'm prompted for the speech server always i choose gnome speech and then i hear no more speech. I've also installed the java-access-bridge, but am assuming there's a configuration step i'm missing. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks. Dave.
