Re: [Evolution] spelling

[Larry Ewing <lewing ximian com>]

Actually this is Radek's baby but I can probably give a passable answer.
As Jeff says you need the gnome-spell module from GNOME CVS.  And
gnome-spell itself requires pspell and aspell  Unfortunately there are
no gnome-spell packages available.  Also gnome-spell HEAD requires a
newer version of pspell than the one that comes with redhat 7.  This
packages situation isn't likely to change until the people in charge of
packaging have more time, and it looks like they will be quite busy for
the near future.  If you want working spell checking in evolution right
now, I'd probably install the aspell packages from redhat7, build
pspell-0.12.tar.gz from http://pspell.sourceforge.net/ and build
gnome-spell from GNOME CVS.

Sorry it is such a pain right now, it will get better in the future.
