Hello, Marco: OK. I do not use braille myself, but I believe the following is correct. I've cc'd Dave Mielke on this email because I don't believe he monitors this list, and he is the authority on brltty. 1.) For braille support in Orca I am certain you want the very latest brltty and also brlapi. While both of these are available from Fedora repositories, the ones Fedora provides are not the latest and may not be new enough to support Orca. There was considerable work a few months ago to clear up issues of braille support on Orca, so I'm quite certain yhou really do want the most recent versions. You can find the binary rpm of brltty-3.8.1 and brlapi-0.5.0 on the brltty home page: http://dave.mielke.cc/brltty/#related You may need the brlapi-python rpm as well--I just don't know for sure. To my recollection Pyrex is only required to build brlapi, but if my memory is incorrect, please note that Pyrex is available on Fedora repositories: Name : Pyrex Arch : noarch Version: 0.9.4 Release: 4.fc7 Size : 394 k Repo : fedora Summary: A compiler/language for writing Python extension modules. Description: Pyrex is Python with C types. It is specially designed to allow you to write extension modules for Python that have the speed of C and the simplicity and readability of Python. You write your code in a Python-like language with C-typed variables, then use the pyrexc compiler to transform it into a C representation. This is useful for speeding up critical sections of your Python code or wrapping an external library. Good luck!
