Using 1.5.3 Rev 21438
I had the en_us installed and it didn't want to spell check.
With my environment LANG variable being set to en_AU.UTF-8 I then installed the
hunspell_en_au dictionary, but again, no spell checking.
I then installed hunspell_en_gb and spell checking proceeded without any
problem.
All a bit of a mystery to me but as I don't use the spell checker, something I
had not bothered about

Depending on your operating system, strace or truss could help to tell what
scribus is looking for.
For example, I have LANG=en_US.UTF-8 and
strace -e open scribus 2>&1 | grep spell/
shows the sequence below when I run a spell check
open("/usr/share/myspell/en_US.aff", O_RDONLY) = 20
open("/usr/share/myspell/en_US.dic", O_RDONLY) = 20
open("/usr/share/myspell/en_US.aff", O_RDONLY) = 20
although the spell check does not show any words for me, even words that are
misspelled.
