Tested on 2 different installations. Kdelibs during "configure" fail to find aspell thus cripling the functionality of dictionary bindings in whole KDE system. $ emerge kdelibs (...) config.status: executing depfiles commands Your libaspell is too old or not installed, I couldn't find aspell.h. You must download aspell >= 0.50.2, see http://aspell.net Spell-checking with libaspell will not be available, only with ispell dicts.

Created attachment 99452 [details] Configure log of kdelibs-3.5.5
Ignore the warning, aspell will be enabled. The error comes from KSpell2 that is not actually used at all.
