[Geany-Users] Difficulty installing spellcheck plugin on geany

[ripspin-005 at yahoo.com.au]

 I am a bit rough some times, I didn't save the build error.
But I installed aspell separately so I can do command line spell check.
I wanted spell check in geany because the spell check in abiword is not friendly.

Although it *might* indeed not be related, it's kind of bold to still
proceed to the installation when the build failed.  Could you paste the
error here so we can see what that can be?
