[LaTeXila] spell checking on Arch

[Sander Deryckere <sanderd17 gmail com>]

Bonjour,

When I upgraded the Arch packages, I saw it contained an upgrade for Latexila. So I looked at the site what changed and I saw spell checking was added.

But I didn't see a spell check option under 'edit'. I looked a bit deeper, and apparently it needs gtkspell which wasn't installed. So I installed gtkspell, but I still get no option to activate spell checking.

Here is my version of latexila:

> [root@arch ~]# pacman -Q latexila
>
> latexila 2.2.1-4

And below you see a list of every package with "spell" that I'm able to install (and the installed ones are marked). I have installed  gtkspell 2.0.16 ( but I do not know what language packages gtkspell uses) and some other spelling packages like aspell. In gedit spelling is working, but I don't know what gedit uses.

Do you know what could be wrong?

PS. I did not subscribe to the mailing list. So please send replies to me too.

Merci en avance,
Sander
