Title: Re: [Evolution] Spell checking no longer works with SuSE 8.0

Thanks, Ralph.

I added the pspell_dev package : no change.
Then I got gnome spell package from the www.usr-local-bin.org site and now it works

Thank you very much - I am back in business!

I don't know if it was gnome-spell or the devel package or the combination which did the trick, but when I get the time, I'll investigate.
