This is a new one in gnome-2.18, and it looks like it didn't quite get
in the book yet.

Enchant is a spell checking framework used in Abiword. It uses aspell
as a backend (as well as hspell and uspell, but they're only needed in
languages aspell can't handle). You can get it here:

http://www.abisource.com/enchant/

The build is straight ./configure, make, make install and it depends
on glib and zlib. Then you should be able to go back to gedit and get
things working.
