[Evolution] No Languages for Spell Checking (again!)

["Steven P. Auerbach" <STEVEN P AUERBACH saic com>]

Hi
As have others before me, I can't get spell-checking to work. No
languages show up in the Tools:Settings:Composer Preferences: Spell
Checking tab. I've looked through the recent posts which mention the
word "spell", and I haven't found how to solve my problem.

I'm using RH 9, Evo 1.4.5

Following the advice of one of the posts 
(http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/users/2003-June/010000.html), I
did the following:

rpm -qa | grep spell | sort

The output of this is:

aspell-0.50.4.1-0.ximian.6.1
aspell-compat-0.33.7.1-0.ximian.6.4
aspell-en-0.51.0-0.ximian.6.1
gnome-spell-0.5-5
pspell-compat-0.12.2-0.ximian.4

I ran Evolution in a terminal, and got the following messages which
appear to relate to spelling:

(evolution:19127): gtkhtml-WARNING **: Cannot create spell dictionary
instance (iid:OAFIID:GNOME_Spell_Dictionary:0.3)
 
  
(evolution:19127): Bonobo-WARNING **: Activation exception 'Failed to
activate 'OAFIID:GNOME_Spell_Control:0.3''
 
(evolution:19127): evolution-mail-WARNING **: Cannot activate
OAFIID:GNOME_Spell_Dictionary:0.3

I have tested that aspell itself works (by running it on a file).

Any suggestions?

Steve
