Red herring. English support is built into aspell on Red Hat; there is no aspell-en package on that platform. Mandrake (from France) and SuSE (from Germany) split out an aspell-en package. I have no aspell-en on this machine, and I have red squiggles under "aspell" and "SuSE". ;-)
The problem may be in the upgrade from 7.1 to 7.2; perhaps some of the packages need to be replaced with packages built specifically for 7.2. -Mark Gordon On Fri, 2003-01-10 at 11:46, Rick Friedman wrote: > Aaron, > > I think you are still missing at least one rpm.
