I'd like to report this behaviour, too. In my setup (Debian Unstable), the Spell Checker window in the Evolution Preferences Dialogue does not show other dictionaries either with the aspell-en package installed.
* If there are other dictionaries installed and one removes the aspell-en package, the remaining dictionaries show up. * If no dictionaries are installed and one installs aspell-en and aspell-de, no dictionaries show up * If no dictionaries are installed and one installs aspell-fr and aspell-en, only aspell-fr shows up * If no dictionaries are installed and one installs aspell-de-alt, aspell-en and aspell-fr only aspell-de-alt and aspell-fr show up. The respective versions are as follows: gnome-spell 1.0.6-3 evolution 2.2.3-4 aspell 0.60.3-5 aspell-de-alt 2.1-1-3 aspell-de 0.60-20030222-1-5 aspell-en 6.0-0-5 aspell-fr 0.50-3-6 Furthermore, the aspell-fr setup prints the following: aspell-autobuildhash: processing: fr [fr-40-only] aspell-autobuildhash: processing: fr [fr-60-only] aspell-autobuildhash: processing: fr [fr-80-only] Warning: The word "Gram--Schmidt" is invalid. The character '-' (U+2D) must be followed by an alphabetic character. Skipping word. Warning: The word "Runge--Kutta" is invalid. The character '-' (U+2D) must be followed by an alphabetic character. Skipping word. aspell-autobuildhash: processing: fr [fr_CH-only] Perhaps this helps. cheers jj --- I wonder if I should put myself in ESCROW!!
