I just did more or less the same thing, but on Ubuntu 7.04 I cant remember all the details, but if you Google for brltty 3.9 Ubuntu you'll hopefully find the page explaining about installing the python-Pyrex and python-dev before compiling brltty. I'm very new to Linux, but as I understand it, BRLTTY must be compiled with the python links included for orca to work with it. I got brltty running, but my problem is a bit different, when on the gui screen, I get only the message that the screen is not in text mode, so obviously I did not do everything correct myself, but on the terminal window, brltty works okay. hopefully it help you a bit.

Everything is working fine except for BRLTTY. I installed the latest version of BRLTTY, 3.9. I edited the /etc/brltty.conf but now i dont have any braille output. I have to use Orca. I tried reinstalling, but wiht the same result. Any ideas?
