At first i though the maintainer forgot to include the .so in the
package, but after trying to build it my self i discovered gtkspell
change its internal api to use Enchant instead of Aspell and SwitchSpell
is using direct calls to the aspell api to achieve its wonders. :(
For now the best workaraound i found is to configure enchant, as an
example i will describe how i did it to use pidgin with the spanish
dictionary by default.
Following enchant(1) i created ~/.enchant/enchant.ordering with a single
line in it: *:aspell to use the aspell backend by default. Then i
created ~/.aspell.conf, again with a single line in it: lang es. And
finally i installed aspell-es via apt-get.
This work for my simple case. But if you want more control i recommend
to get some familiarity with the hunspell backend. Among other things it
can be configured via environment viariables without messing with your
default dictionary for enchant or your locale. You can for example run
DICTIONARY=es_ES pidgin to get the pidgin spell checker in spanish. I
ended up using aspell because im too lazy to install the spanish
dictionary manually for hunspell.
Hope it helps.
