Re: [Evolution] spelling



Actually this is Radek's baby but I can probably give a passable answer.
As Jeff says you need the gnome-spell module from GNOME CVS.  And
gnome-spell itself requires pspell and aspell  Unfortunately there are
no gnome-spell packages available.  Also gnome-spell HEAD requires a
newer version of pspell than the one that comes with redhat 7.  This
packages situation isn't likely to change until the people in charge of
packaging have more time, and it looks like they will be quite busy for
the near future.  If you want working spell checking in evolution right
now, I'd probably install the aspell packages from redhat7, build
pspell-0.12.tar.gz from http://pspell.sourceforge.net/ and build
gnome-spell from GNOME CVS.

Sorry it is such a pain right now, it will get better in the future.

Larry Ewing would be the best guy to answer this.

The first time I tried Evolution, I liked the spell checking in the
composition window very much. However, it hasn't worked for me since the
very earliest public releases. Is it currently working for anybody? How
about people using the "daily" snapshots, as I am? I am willing to track
down the problem myself, but first I would like to understand whether
the lack of spell checking is known to be a problem everywhere, or
whether it only appears in certain configurations.

P.S. I'm using the snapshot rpms for Redhat 7.0. I do have spell
checking turned on in the control center settings for gtkhtml.
