Description Manfred Stienstra 2004-03-25 06:19:26 UTC
When I try to emerge gtkspell, it gives the following error during the configure phase:

checking for new_aspell_speller in -laspell... no
checking for new_pspell_manager in -lpspell... no
configure: error: You must have the aspell or pspell dev libraries to build gtkspell.

!!! ERROR: app-text/gtkspell-2.0.4-r1 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 365, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed

This is not very strange because the ebuild doesn't include a dependency on aspell and I haven't installed it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge gtkspell
2.
3.

Actual Results:  

!!! ERROR: app-text/gtkspell-2.0.4-r1 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 365, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed


Expected Results:  
It should install (:
