This methods works for SuSE 7.2 and 7.3.

If you are using SuSE try the following IN THE SEQUENCE LISTED:
1. using red carpet, rpm or whatever load pspell0.12.2-ximian.4 (not a
newer version)
2. ftp the aspell and gnomespell rpm's from Ximian.
3. use Yast1 to install aspell and gnomespell (rpm --force might work,
but I know that Yast definitely does and ignores the dependency)
4. using gnome control centre -> html viewer -> miscellaneous ensure
that spell checking is enabled and that you have selected the language
"en", not en-gb or en-ca.

This should work, but only if you do it in sequence and possibly offer a
sacrifice to the deity of your choice.
