Got gnome-spell-0.5-3.i386.rpm from rpmfind and processed it through alien to make it fit into my Debian setup. Installed fine with no warnings or complaints about unsatisfied dependencies, but gnome-spell still must be unhappy about something because it segfaults as soon as something calls it.
So I gave it a try with gnome-spell-0.5-2.i386.rpm and despite not segfaulting it does not solve the problem. So I tried gnome-spell-0.5-1.ximian.3.i386.rpm Strangely, converting the rmp package to deb with alien produced gnome-spell_0.5-2_i386.deb But now it works and this message has been spellchecked for your reading pleasure... Thanks to James and Vincent who hinted the solution ! On Fri, 2002-11-15 at 12:07, Jean-Marc V.
