On Mac everything is different. And moreover: are you sure that all needed packages exist for Mac? If Yasr will work at all, you need a Mac specific package, that's ending is .dmg. It's precompiled, and it fits into a Mac structure. If you really don't like Mac and prefer Linux, why not testing a real one, such as: http://grml.org/ It's a text based Linux that comes with Brltty, Yasr and Speakup out of the box. And btw: It runs on a simple PC, that is much cheaper than a Mac. The CD you can download can be used in live mode, e.g. you can test it without installing. If you like it, there are several ways to install it. Hermann -- Menkind would live in peace and harmony, if people could give up only two things: God and country.
