Spellcheck with evolution

[DarthSid]

Hi there,

The spellcheck function in evolution doesn't seem to work. When I type some rubbish and run a spellcheck I get the message "No misspelled word found". I have installed aspell 3.1.20 and evolution 1.0.8. Do I have to change some settings?

Thx

i was foolish enough to do 'emerge -c' and spell-check stopped to work in my evolution. (and some other apps like gedit and so on)
I unmerged and merged the evolution but still no luck.
And now, on top of all that, Abiword crashes if i copy any text from the document.
If i highlight the text (and did not use ctrl c ) and try to paste it to gedit for example, just clicking the middle button on my mouse crashes the abiword.
unmerge and emerge abiwor did not help.

My evolution spell check suddenly stopped working as well. I'm still trying to fix it.

I noticed that the gnome-spell ebuild was updated recently and that the spell dependecies have changed. I have a hunch that the problem has something to do with this change.

I have spell checking in Evolution, you have to merge the aspell package, an then your aspell-XX (aspell-es for me). Then you have spell check working in Evolution

FIXED! Thank you for your post.

Yes, this was my problem no dictionary.

I had to emerge aspell-en.

I suppose it would be nice if the aspell ebuild emerged the right language dictionary for you.

Hey all,

I cannot seem to get evolution's spell checking to work. I have emerged aspell and aspell-en. No jos.
