I have no idea what you are referring to about opening a browser ...
etc.

In order to get Evolution 1.2.2 working on the SuSE 8.1 computer that we
have here:
- went to ftp.ximian
- downloaded the SuSE 8.1 rpm (all excepting the devel and pilot
packages which are not required for OUR setup)
- install the rpm's 
- run SuSEconfig (as root)
- Evolution works, spell check and all.

To get Evolution (a gnome program) to work well with SuSE 8.1, you
should also go to the ximian ftp at SuSE 8.0, download and install the
control center rpm.

Things for you to check:
- did you get ALL the rpm's from the ftp location
- particularly aspell, aspell-en, gnome-spell and pspell
- were all the dependencies resolved
- after installing all the rpm's did you run SuSEconfig as root

Once Evolution is up and running -> Tools -> Composer Preference ->
Spell Checking and enable the languages that you want to use for spell
checking.  Done.
