#36 Spell Check in Geany Windows version not working
Sorry. At first I placed this message on another thread before noticing the thread was closed. So here it is again.
Whenever I start Geany, a pop-up error message says:
"The enchant library couldn't be initialized (unknown error (maybe the
chosen language is not available))."
==============================================================
My system is Windows 7 Home Premium on an HP Notebook with an AMD Athlon
II Dual-Core M320 2.10 GHz with three gigs of RAM.
After Geany loads, the debug messages are:
11:48:23: INFO : Geany 0.19, GTK+ 2.16.6, GLib 2.20.5

==============================================================
Having looked through the config files, I cannot find anything which could
solve this problem. Also, I am not a computer programmer. I am just working
on one website with HTML and JavaScript. So I don't even have a clue as to
what the problem could be.
Do you have installed any dictionaries?
From the posted log above, the spell check plugin looks for a "en" dictionary.
If you don't have installed it, you should do this and then configure the path to the dictionary files in the plugin configuration dialog.
with installed libraries, i.e. from your openoffice installation it works (files are zip archives, extract .dic and .aff files in a place for geany ). There should be a hint for this in the plugin text
