Description Chris Dragan 2005-05-26 07:48:30 UTC
Opera depends on app-text/aspell, but on AMD64 libaspell.so is built as a 64-bit 
library, therefore Opera cannot use it as it's a 32-bit application. The result: 
no spell check available on AMD64.

It would be nice to have a 32-bit libaspell.so in /usr/lib32 in one of the emul-
linux-x86 ebuilds, so that Opera can use it. I'm not sure whether it's also 
necessary to modify the /opt/opera/bin/opera script accordingly.

Sorry, but we can't put every library into emul-linux-x86-$something. If you need
a special 32bit library, you'll have to compile them yourself and put them into
the appropriate directories below /emul/ yourself.

Resolving as WONTFIX.
