I am sorry, its very confusing for me to explain situation. It all involves a lot of gui, so as result not much i can do to explain it properly. I have 2 applications that have issues with check spell function: abiword and open office word. I prefer first application to second. I was contacting irc channel of abi word, and lads from there think that i have issue with enchant. Looks like i don't have english dictionary(which i require) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run program 2.open document or create new one 3. run spell checker Actual Results: it doesnt spell check. in case of abiword - option to spell check is greyed out, pressing F7 does nothing. in case of open office - spell check funtion comes up - but finds no errors, even if they are there. Expected Results: supposed to help me write my CV... :( as you can see, make.conf contains "spell" flag. I decided to try ~amd64 flag on "enchant" - got 1.4.2 version compiled without any issues, it didnt solve problem. now i have downgraded back to 1.3.0. I did: localhost dimko # USE="aspell hunspell zemberek" emerge -pv enchant These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild UD] app-text/enchant-1.3.0 [1.4.2] USE="(-aspell%*) (-hunspell%*) (-zemberek%)" 0 kB Total: 1 package (1 downgrade), Size of downloads: 0 kB Previously i did smth like USE="spell" emerge -D abiword. it didnt help... abiword plugins are compiled as well.
i thought i did put THIS "http://pastebin.com/m4614f607" its valid for a month.
OK, i have downgraded enchanted back to 1.3.0 and suddenyly it just works! Open office is having same issue as it did have before, but i dont care much about it.

openoffice and openoffice-bin don't use enchant for spell-checking. They include following post-install message: elog " Spell checking is now provided through our own myspell-ebuilds, " elog " if you want to use it, please install the correct myspell package " elog " according to your language needs. " So, if enchant works with abiword then you're all set. Closing this bug. If you later find openoffice doesn't work with myspell, feel free to open another.
