I've only just completed a basic xorg plus fluxbox on this box, so I can't test spell checking in gedit. I can't remember when I last used gedit, but my build script notes that I had to move enchant ( 1.2.6 works for me ) ahead of gedit for 2.18. Previously, I had enchant as a dependency for abiword, so for me it was just another case of changing my build order for a newer gnome. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
