Dear List

I cannot get Evolution to enable spell checking. When i go to Tools -> Settings -> Composer Preferences -> Spell Checking the Languages box contains nothing and the Enable button is greyed out.

The SuSE help says install gnome-spell - which i have (actually it was originally gnome-spell2 but i have added gnome-spell as well).

In addition i also have installed:

aspell aspell-en ispell ispell-british myspell-american myspell-british

Any and all pointers / solutions gratefully received

Tim

Hi Tim, Apparently I avoided this problem because spell-checking is working here in Evolution 2 on SuSE 9.2. Of course, I always install & run most of the supplied Gnome stuff on my system. I found the following with Google. Might be worth looking into, even if it is sort of a 'kluge' :-) regards, - Carl [quote] Jeremey Wise Jeremey.Wise@Agilysys.com Wed, 29 Dec 2004 15:55:25 -0500 * Previous message: [Evolution] Migration fun * Next message: [Evolution] Exchange 2003 Connection * Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] ________________________________________________________________________ As no-body had any ideas I started to poke around and I found a fix... though I wouldn't call it anything along the lines of great. I know evolution uses gnome stuff even though I only use KDE. I found two utilities related to spelling (gnome-spell-component-0.5 gnome-spell-properties-capplet). I ran gnome-spell-component-0.5' and nothing really changed so I ran 'gnome-spell-properties-capplet' and it started a GUI which had a component up top left called 'MISSINGNAME' which had a subcomponent of 'Spell Checking. In the right pane was the languages I loaded English, British, American. None of these were highlighted so I selected "American" and clicked 'OK'. After closing, Spelling started to work in Evolution. I have no other system to reference weather 'Missingname' is bad (something corrupted perhaps). Either way it works now.

I was migrated to a new Exhange server and all sorts of fun has transpired. I posted a few bug and questions but received no reponse so I just backed up all my data and did a fresh install of SuSE 9.2. I am now back and working with Evolution 2.0 with Exchange connector and things seem to be working well. A few issues I have yet to resolve.

1) Spell checking does not work though (after searching archives) it apears I have all the packages installed. wizej:~ # rpm -qa |grep spel ispell-american-3.2.06-460 ispell-3.2.06-460 ispell-british-3.2.06-460 myspell-british-20040208-28 myspell-american-20040623-2 gtkspell-2.0.5-58 aspell-en-0.51.0-285 gnome-spell-0.5-244 aspell-0.50.5-40 gnome-spell2-1.0.5-218 aspell-devel-0.50.5-35 wizej:~ # Spelling can not be enabled under "Tools->Settings->Composer Preferances->Spell Checking"
