Greetings, all, I'm working with Geany 1.23.1, and am hoping to make Geany my only editor/ide. However, I can't do that, unless/until it provides spellcheck functionality. Currently, I'm forced to open one of my other editors, in order to accomplish that. That siad; I'm on a FreeBSD/amd64 box. Source for it is current (3 days old). Geany version 1.23.1, I don't know if the spellcheck has a version, but the version of Enchant is: 1.6.02. I see there were some problems with it on Windows, but I
I'm using 1.6.0 on Linux without problems.
see no reason to think that applies here. I have gone to great lengths to make the plugin work. I installed every single engine into Enchant that Enchant supports; ASPELL,HSPELL,HUNSPELL,ISPELL,ZEMBEREK. They are ALL currently installed. But Geany emits:
The Enchant library couldn't be initialized (unknown error (maybe the chosen language is not available)).
and provides no option to choose the desired engine. FWIW, my choice would be Ispell, and en/us. Any thoughts on how I might overcome this problem?
Could you try on the command line the following command:
# enchant-lsmod
Here's the output:
# enchant-lsmod aspell (Aspell Provider) ispell (Ispell Provider) myspell (Myspell Provider)
to check if Enchant knows its engines? This command should output a few engines installed on the system (e.g. "hspell (Hspell Provider)").
And please try:
# echo "hllo" | enchant -a -d en_US
that should output a list of alternative spellings for "hllo".
# echo "hllo" | enchant -a -d en_US @(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Enchant 1.6.0) Couldn't create a dictionary for en_US
This was interesting to me. Because when I chose /usr/share/dict in the dictionary field for the plugin, the plugin still complained about no enchant lib.
And could you check what is configured as "language" in the config file ~/.config/geany/plugins/spellcheck/spellcheck.conf
# cat ~/.config/geany/plugins/spellcheck/spellcheck.conf
[spellcheck] check_while_typing=false use_msgwin=false show_toolbar_item=true show_editor_menu_item=true dictionary_dir=
