You need to be carefull with libraries as other existing programs on your box might not work with the new ones.
I have not done orca in a number of years, but usually software which you download like that in a tar.gz or such has a README file which should tell you how to install.
The generic instructions for many programs is:
From the directory where you have extracted:
./configure&&make&&sudo make install
This would, if everything works, put the software in the right place, ready to run.

Hi,

I downloaded the latest version of Orca which is not in Ubuntu repositories (I have an Ubuntu machine at work). I unzipped this archive, and set about resolving the dependencies.

Some of these dependencies (namely GTK+-3.0) were not the latest version in the PPAs either, so I had to manually download them. Now, the question is:

1. How can I install downloaded libraries? Should I copy them? If so, where?
2. Let's say I can run Orca. Great. However, how can I replace the Orca in /usr/bin with this one? How can I do it for applications that I download?

Thanks!
