Thanks for reporting but I think you should report this to Arch itself at https://bugs.archlinux.org

This is only partly an issue with ArchLinux. For the 1.33 release we can't do anything to fix it but for the future. Enchant bump their library version number recently including the pkgconfig name (`enchant` vs `enchant-2`) and so G-P's `configure` checks for the wrong package name.

I'll prepare a patch to support building against the new and old package name.

I faced the same issue on Archlinux. I got this error when I forced --enable-spellcheck: ``` checking for enchant >= 1.5... no checking for enchant >= 2.0... no checking for enchant >= 1.3... no configure: error: Package requirements (enchant >= 1.3) were not met: No package 'enchant' found

``` Note that my current version is `enchant 2.2.3-1` As a quick workaround, it is enough to install an enchant package which has the version number in the name (eg. enchant2). Such package exists in the AUR, unfortunately, with version 1.6. On the good side, it doesn't conflict with the main enchant package and geany's spellcheck is back (I assume it is using the 1.6 version since it was compiled based on it, please confirm this). Looking forward to the definitive fix for this problem.

#729 adds support for both the old and new Enchant package names and so should solve the issue for future releases.

For the current release, please ping the ArchLinux package maintainers to backport the patch.
