I have USE="spell" but when emerging sylpheed-claws-0.7.8 I get the following message on configure : checking for pspell-config... /usr/bin/pspell-config checking for pspell - version >= .12.2... no *** Could not run pspell test program, checking why... *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log *** for the exact error that occured. This usually means pspell was *** incorrectly installed or that you have moved pspell since it was *** installed. In the latter case, you may want to edit the *** pspell-config script: /usr/bin/pspell-config #emerge -s pspell app-text/pspell Latest version Available: 0.12.2-r2 Latest version Installed: 0.12.2-r2 I've built everything from 1.1a - stage1 with "march=i686 -pipe -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer"
try to remerge pspell and then sylpheed-claws again, please. I am unable to duplicate this error on my machine
I tried re-emerging both pspell & sylpheed-claws but still the same. I tried also to configure syl manually (--enable-pspell --with-pspell-libs=/usr/lib --with-pspell-includes=/usr/include) but got the same error.
Silly me -- the spell flag was not in my USE due to some other package testing I was doing :/ After adding it, I get the exact same problem. I'm investigating as we speak, but if you have some insight or info, please do let me know :)
Turns out this was a problem with the pspell ebuild. I have adjusted that to make this work correctly. So, please emerge rsync, and emerge pspell (or -u world, but make sure pspell is in the list). Then when you remerge sylpheed-claws, you'll get pspell support :) thanks for catching that, coz I completely missed it.
Ok, it works now. Thanx a lot :)
