Working with Zim today, I tried to activate the Spell Checker plugin. It immedialtely gave me a "Dependencies: gtkspell - Failed" and would not activate. Checking gslapt, gtkspell (2.0.16-x86_64-1) was indeed installed.

Checking the <MORE> button gave:
"This plugin requires the "gtkspell" library to be installed as well as the Python language bindings for this library.
* On Ubuntu or Debian systems installing the package "python-gtkspell" (or "python-gnome2-extras" on older releases) will meet these dependencies.
* On Fedora systems, installing the package "gnome-python2-gtkspell" will meet these dependencies."

Neither one was listed in gslapt or sourcery, and a quick look at other libraries gave no hint at what could possible help.

So, 1) Has anyone been able to get the Spell Checker in Zim activated?; and if so, 2) How? I'm out of ideas, and would love a hint.

I think you need the python bindings for gtkspell, though I'm not sure how to get them.

EDIT Maybe here:

http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/searc ... 2-gtkspell

with rpm2tgz

Yeah, i couldn't find any package on the repo either so I built this:

It's just the x86_64 package. If you need the 32 bit package then build it using the SLKBUILD.

Yup, works with the above package installed.

Thanks laprjns, but the buildscript url gives:
The requested URL /yournick/python-gtkspell/2.25.3/SLKBUILD was not found on this server.

Bet it's the "yournick"

EDIT: Yup, substituting "laprjns" for "yournick" works. Thanks.

Oops, sorry about that. Links are fixed now

Thanks again.

Any chance it could be added to the repos/sourcery for the next release, seeing as how it's required for part of a default app (zim) ?

It's now on my build list.

Merci danke
