[Orca-users] Re: orcallator.se runs, but no output

[Blair Zajac]

I don't think a reinstall of SE and/or Orca will work.  When these
packages install, they don't look at the system configuration, since
you can NFS mount one SE install across a variety of different system
types.  In my opinion, the reboot will be the next thing to try.
