a. Requirements
---------------
The spell checker in sylpheed requires the new GNU/aspell library
Note:
As for version 0.8.3 (and cvs version 0.8.2claws3), Sylpheed-Claws uses
the new GNU/aspell 0.50 for spell checking instead of the obsolete pspell
and old aspell 0.33.x. You will need to upgrade your system. See
http://www.gnu.org/software/aspell for instructions on how to do this.
The spell checker in Sylpheed requires the new GNU/aspell library
(http://www.gnu.org/software/aspell), version 0.50 or newer.
You also need the dictionaries. Check GNU/aspell home page for how
to download and install them.
NB: The old dictionaries used by the old aspell will not work.
