Thank you. I got the same result. However, the executable didn't work
with blue tooth, so the feature is certainly not compiled into the
Fedora package. This is a bit disappointing, because I've mentioned
the lack of blue tooth support for BRLTTY on Fedora in an (old) bug
repport / feature request.
