As of version 1.3.5svn, you can now incorporate Aspell into your build of Scribus.

First, you must have Aspell installed on your system.

Find it here. Note: Use the version labelled latest (0.60.6 as of this writing), not the development version.

You will need to build Aspell using

./configure && make

then, as root:

make install

After it's installed, when you run cmake for your Scribus build, you should see Aspell acknowledged as found.

Fedora It seems the best way to install Aspell in Fedora is by using

yum install aspell aspell-devel

since it's easier. Don't forget the aspell-devel, or cmake will not include Aspell in the build.


Usage

Select a text frame, press F7, or Item > Spell Checker.
