Xchat ,enabling spellchecker?

[NagaDrag]

I've got libsexy, enchant, and xchat installed, and recently noticed that I don't have spellchecker working, or not working anymore for some reason.

Are there any ways to enable it, as i've not seen any tabs/options for it in the GUI

EDIT: Had to correct xchat-gnome to xchat, I thought I was using the gnome one, but I did not

emerge -pv net-irc/xchat-gnome

Sorry, my mistake, it's not xchat-gnome, is regular xchat

doing the above emerge command on the plain xchat

Code: Select all

gamer ~ # emerge -pv net-irc/xchat      

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

If you go to Preferences => Input box do you see a check box for Spell checking ?

There's no spell checking box there, as of xchat-2.8.8.
I have this spell issue as well, though I installed xchat with "spell" flag, and enchant with "aspell" flag

Code: Select all

 net-irc/xchat-2.8.8 (dbus libnotify nls perl python spell ssl tcl -debug -ipv6 -mmx -ntlm -xchatdccserver -xchatnogtk -xft)
app-text/enchant-1.6.0 (aspell hunspell -zemberek)    

maybe it's something to do with gtkspell, the default spell-check at configure time. a warning message states that gtkspell is not recommended :

Code: Select all

mmx tinting ......... : no	spelling .............. : gtkspell
XShm tinting ........ : yes	plugin interface ...... : yes
text backend ........ : pango	nls/gettext ........... : yes
openssl support ..... : yes	ipv6 support .......... : no
dbus support ........ : yes	msproxy ntlm (ISA) .... : no

The binary will be installed in /usr/bin

Warning: GTK SPELL is not the recommended spelling library.
