How to make spellchecker work on abiword 2.8[SOLVED]

Hello,

I am just wondering if anyone managed to make abiword 2.8 spellchecking work. If yes, could someone give me tips how to enable it, because it is not working on my system.

I already installed all consivable dictionaries I could think of, "ispell, hunspell, aspell". But spellchecking still doesn't work.

On other forum, someone suggested to me to make a link from /usr/share/enchant  to /usr/ispell. I did, but the spellchecking still doesnot work. This is a problem with other distros as well; xubuntu and fedora users have this problem too.

Thanks
jmak

Aspell requires dictionaries; Installing just Aspell itself won't do the trick. To see available dictionaries, just use pacman -Ss aspell.

Thanks a lot, indeed "aspell-en" was not installed. Now, it works fine.
