[Evolution] Evolution and spell check

[Andy Cedilnik <andy cedilnik kitware com>]

Hello!

(Sory fur mispeled woards, boot mi spail checher dose nut wark...)

A while ago collegue who uses Mandrake 8.1 and used Evolution 1.0.2,
asked me (Debian Woody, Evolution 1.0.3) how can he get spell check to
work. I said: "Install gnome-spell" and he did. He used Red-carpet to do
that and it did not work. He has gnome-spell installed but spell
checking still does not work. 

I since upgraded to Evolution 1.0.5 from Debian Woody repository and
spell check worked better than ever. Today however, I wanted to install
Mozilla 1.0 which is in Ximian's repository, and in the process it
updated my Evolution to 1.0.7. Now my spell check does not work any
more. I traced the problem to the fact that gnome-spell did not get
installed. The reason? Well, gnome-spell depends on aspell, aspell,
depends on libpspell and libtdl, and libpspell depends on libtdl. libtdl
however does not exist. 

So, why would Evolution not do spell checking on Mandrake 8.1 with
gnome-spell, aspell, and everything installed with Evolution 1.0.3?

What about that libtdl?

Thank you.
