If this is the case, please contact your packager." OK, I have the gnome-spell package and aspell without using ZENworks. As far as Red Carpet is concerned, I thought it was defunct after Novell bought out Ximian. Sorry, but I still don't understand how to get an aspell-id package except maybe through this URL : http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/id/ I don't really see how this help file is any more helpful for a newbie as there are absolutely no instructions (as quoted) that explains the process of installing extra dictionaries. > > cheers, > andre > > [1] > http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnome-spell/gnome-spell/dictionary.c?r1=1.38&r2=1.39 I can see a difference in this link between a version version 1.38 and version 1.39 for something called "dictionary.c" that has something to do with the "gnome-spell" package, but again, I really don't understand what I am looking at or how this will help me to get Indonesian "aspell" working. Is what I did with trying to compile and install aspell5-id-1.2-0.tar.bz2 correct? Should I have used aspell-id-0.50.1-0.tar.bz2 instead? Or do I need to do something totally different?
