Your messages make it sound like you might be running a pre-alpha (very new, buggy) version. Open Source software changes and improves very quickly. Many problems can fixed by simply upgrading to the latest STABLE version (usually you avoid development versions, unless you are contributing to the project, and have enough experience with dealing with the bugs). So you often should check on versions first, and sometimes it is easier to wait a week or a month for a better version, than to hassle with a problem yourself. So what version are you using? The latest is: Magma-1.3.1.tar.gz The variable you were having trouble with (showed as empty in your error statement) should be set in your local config file, and the most recent version has config support in it. Please read the traditional README and INSTALL files before requesting more help, as well as any other help and documentation files (always a good idea, and part of good nettiquette, as some FAQs will tell you). Also, many package specific problems are better dealt with on the mailing list for that package or utility, or, as a last resort, by contacting the author (we don't want to distract him from improving the stuff we use, for routine problems). And it is off topic for this list, unless the problem is a blind/VI specific one, and this is not. If you were asking for help to get yasr, or another screen reader working, so you could natively read documentation for yasr: that might be on topic, assuming you couldn't come up with another way to access the docs. Note that many listers will simply ignore off topic messages, though we tend to be much more tolerant with new users who don't yet understand the community culture, or know where the proper help sources are: for that last, see the blinux FAQ, and the help sources it points to.
