Gtk2::Spell tests



This is for Ross mostly, I think:

In testing Bundle::Gnome2 (version 0.04 of which I released today, by
the way), I found that 'make' failed for Gtk2::Spell.

The reason for this is that Ximian Desktop on Red Hat 9 prefers aspell
over pspell, and installs the pspell-compat libraries for applications
that use pspell. However, in order to have aspell, pspell and
pspell-devel must be removed. So I couldn't build Gtk2::Spell.

Removing aspell and installing pspell and pspell-devel solved this, and
Gtk2::Spell built with no problems. But when I came to run 'make test',
it failed with:

Gtk2::Spell->new_attach: pspell: Sorry, I can't read the file
"/usr/lib/aspell/british". at t/0.GtkSpell.t line 34.

Setting $LANG to 'C' solved this, but obviously pspell-compat is getting
in the way. I could remove pspell-compat, but that would break a lot of
stuff, for example Abiword.

There's obviously something wrong going on here - I think munging $LANG
would be a good idea in the test script, so that it doesn't try to load
a dictionary it doesn't have, but what about the build problems?

Cheers,

Gavin.
