Got gnome-spell-0.5-3.i386.rpm from rpmfind and processed it through alien to make it fit into my Debian setup. Installed fine with no warnings or complaints about unsatisfied dependencies, but gnome-spell still must be unhappy about something because it segfaults as soon as something calls it. So I gave it a try with gnome-spell-0.5-2.i386.rpm and despite not segfaulting it does not solve the problem. So I tried gnome-spell-0.5-1.ximian.3.i386.rpm Strangely, converting the rmp package to deb with alien produced gnome-spell_0.5-2_i386.deb But now it works and this message has been spellchecked for your reading pleasure... Thanks to James and Vincent who hinted the solution ! On Fri, 2002-11-15 at 12:07, Jean-Marc V. Liotier wrote:
I read all the november posts about spellchecking in 1.2 but did not find a way to enable it on my system. I have all the latest packages from Debian Sid (Unstable) : evolution 1.2.0-1 aspell 0.33.7.1-11 + aspell-en, fr, es and de libaspell10 0.33.7.1-11 libgtkspell0 2.0.3-1 libpspell4 0.12.2-6 gnome-spell 0.4.1-4 gaspell 0.30-12 I'm sure some of them are not relevant, but that's everything I have that seems related to spelling. I tried logging out, removing ~/.gconfd/lock/ior and ~/.gconf/%gconf-xml-backend.lock/ior and the logging back in again, but it did not change anything. "Spell Check Document..." in the "Edit" menu is grayed out. In the "Spell Checking" tab of the "Composer Preferences" item in the "Evolution Settings" dialog, there is no "Spell Checking Language" available and the "Enable" button is grayed out. "Check spelling while I type" is enabled, but it has no effect.
