Hi Paul, A couple of small possibilities for you. Did you get the evolution 1.0.8 rpm from www.usr-local-bin.org? The rpm from that site has been particularly good about working with spell check. Also there is a version of gnome-spell from that same site gnome-spell-0.4.1-SuSE.jeo.1 that I am using on several SuSE computers which may be different than the version that you are using. Finally you can try adding the pspell-dev from the SuSE CD. One of my installs refused to spell check in evolution until I got desperate and added this file. No, I do not know why it works that way, but it did. HTH -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - should you trust your government?
