Malcolm,
There's a problem with the Mandrake installation process regarding
Evolution and I don't think I've ever seen it discussed anywhere. But
it looks like you've run into the same problem that I have.
The anomaly is that if Evolution is installed with the initial Mandrake
installation process, the spellchecker never works. If, on the other
hand, you omit Evolution from the Mandrake installer and complete the
installation, THEN install evolution as a separate package afterwards,
the spellchecker works.
Rpmdrake installs the dependencies correctly (including the spellchecker
package) whereas the Mandrake installer does not seem to. I have fixed
this in the past by using Rpmdrake to uninstall Evolution and then
reinstall it. Normally I just omit Evolution from the LM9 install
process and then install it separately afterwards.
Now that we've talked about it and got the problem out in the open, it
can be fixed. I probably would have posted this to the cooker list
sooner, if I were able to join.
Good luck,
LX
