|
|
Anyone had any success getting the install of sylpheed-claws to work with pspell enabled?
When configure tries to compile its pspell test program it fails to link due to unresolved symbols - because pspell is a c++ library and needs to link against libstc++. (I've read something sonewhere that it is some kind of problem in libtool... that's way beyond me in bug tracking and fixing. Might it be the information stored in libpspell.la not including stdc++?)
There's nothing actually wrong with my pspell lib( as far as I can tell), and yes this is on all the recent versions. (If I manually try the same thing configure does, but with -lstdc++ added, the test compile works fine.)
Any suggestions (other than not worrying about my spelling in email or changing mail clients?)
(I recall I had similar problems getting it to be added in my Redhat 7.2 distro, but that was just getting the "--enable-pspell" option passed to configure when I was rpm'ing. It however doesn't seem to have the same linking probelems on the test. Maybe this is a gentoo libtool problem - or similar...) |

I'm getting the same error, and have logged it in the bug database (bug 2907).

I stumbled across the answer to this problem just now while perusing the package.mask file. The solution involved doing an "emerge -u" on pspell and aspell, then emerge pspell-ispell. Then, I rebuilt sylpheed-claws and selected the en-american-ispell dictionary in my configuration menu. It works! |

|
|
Having just tried out the ebuild workaround from the 2907 bug: before the configure add- Code: | for j in ac/pspell.m4 aclocal.m4 configure ; do
cp $j ${j}.orig
sed "s/-lpspell/-lpspell -lstdc++/" < ${j}.orig > ${j}
done |
I found that sylpheed kept "aborting" when I went to email.
Having also "stumbled across" pspell-ispell, I found that selecting these new dictionaries made if work. There's obviously something different in the interfaces of the two (am I right to call them the hashes into the actual dictionary?)
Ahhh... the beauty of gentoo (and linux) - stumbling across solutions
BTW the other workaround that could be used is to use the "--disable-pspelltest" option to configure - if you were sure that your pspell config was right... |

If you fix it sylpheed-claws will still crash when you turn on spell-checking. I already found out with 0.7.4 and now with 0.7.6 it still doesn't work. In debian it works, but well I'm going to try the pspell-ispell hope this works and else well who cares.

My spell checking works fine now by doing what I outlined above. I did not have to edit the ebuild file, just change the spell packages around a little.
Now to figure out why line wrapping is broken... |
