I am having trouble getting spell check working on a copy of Evolution on my laptop. The Version is evolution 2.6 running on Suse 10.1. I have aspell 6 and supporting dictionaries installed. What got me to this point is that my spell check was broken. I also noticed that it was broken for other applications as well. That's when I discovered that I needed to update the aspell dictionaries for v6. After doing this, to things happened. My other applications that use aspell started to work in regards to spell checking. Evolution started to see the fact that words were misspelled but has no way to manually check or offer alternate spellings. As I type this email, word highlighting operates on on misspelled words. I do not get any options to check the spelling and the spell check is actually greyed out. The only option I have is to "add a word to dictionary". Has anyone had this issue before? I've been looking for a way to get evolution to refresh or something so that it will look or see that aspell is installed and that the dictionaries are up to date. And most important, that I can actually do a spell check and it offer up alternate spellings.
Make sure you have "gnome-spell" >= 1.0.5, "aspell" and "aspell-XX" (where "XX" is your locale, for example "aspell-en" for US English or "aspell-en-uk" for British English) installed, depending on your distribution package system. Evolution does not use "myspell". Then go to "Edit | Preferences | Composer Preferences | Spell Checking", and enable the available languages. As you haven't told which languages you have installed, please also note that some languages require "gnome-spell" >= 1.0.7 to be supported by Evolution. You can also check gnome-enabled dictionaries by using the application "gconf-editor". The GConf key "/GNOME/Spell/language" should contain a space-separated list of the languages you have enabled (i.e. "en-US es" for US english and Spain). cheers, andre
