Re: [Evolution] Evolution and Spell Checker

[Tom Cooper <tom_cooper bigfoot com>]

OK, On my RH7.1 system, updated thru redcarpet, I don't have
gnome-spell.  

I went to rpmfind, and downloaded aspell, pspell, and gnome-spell, and
_still_ don't have spell checking in evolution 0.12.99.

$ rpm -q aspell
aspell-0.32.6-2
$ rpm -q pspell
pspell-0.11.2-2
$ rpm -q gnome-spell
gnome-spell-0.1-1
$ rpm -q evolution
evolution-0.12.99-snap.ximian.200108070800


What else must I do to get spell checking to work? Is it that my pspell
is not 'recent' enough?

I love evolution, but I hate looking stoopid when I misspell something.
Please help!

Regards,
Tom Cooper
