RE: Spell check in Quanta in Ubuntu

1st kill all 'aspell' running processes

Kill -9 `ps -e | grep aspell | awk "{print $1}"`


Then check to see if you have the executable....


# Find /usr -iname "aspell*"

If you do, try to execute manually.....

# /usr/bin/aspell

check for the libraries it uses

# ldd /usr/bin/aspell

Make sure that you don't have any missing libraries

Last option is to do an strace (to see where READ, OPEN, or WRITE hangs)

# strace /usr/bin/aspell



Cheers
George

Subject: Spell check in Quanta in Ubuntu

Hi,

I have moved from Kubuntu to Ubuntu and love most of the
software. One
of only two programs I still like to use from KDE is Quanta. It seems
to work fine in Gnome except for one problem, the spell check does not
work. I checked and noticed I have ASpell installed, but it keeps on
saying the following when I try to use the spell checker.

"The spelling program could not be started. Please make sure you have
set the correct spelling program and that it is properly configured and
in your PATH."

Any help on getting this to work would be great. I have all suggested
software installed for Quanta.
