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

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.
