[Screem-devel] ispell requirement

[Roberto R. D. T. <ros...@li...>]

Hi all,
I managed to compile an RPM from the latest dev version on my Mandrake
10.1 box[1]. It installs cleanly, but screem segfaults at launch
complaining about a missing /usr/lib/ispell/english.hash file. Copied it
from a PLD RPM, but I still get this error message:

Illegal format hash table /usr/lib/ispell/english.hash - expected magic2
0x9602, got 0x594e

Questions:

1. what does this mean, exactly?
2. why is Screem relying on a specific spell-checker?
3. why ispell anyway, as it is being superceded by better alternatives?

Thanks in advance

Ciao

[1] It *wasn't* easy, had to update all of GNOME and download
non-mandrake rpms. Anyone thinks the spec file could be useful, just ask
me.
