Thanks for your help: Colomban Wendling & Lex Trotman
It was the: /usr/lib/pkgconfig/geany.pc file. I deleted it and ran: PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH" ./autogen.sh I have done the "make --keep-going" and "make install", there was one error but it didn't appear to relate to sellingcheck, so I did the install.
When I restart geany, it doesn't include Spellingcheck in the "Tools > Plugin Manager" menu. Is that normal after doing the plugins install?
Regards Garthur

The problem is pkg-config can't find geany.pc. How did you install Geany? What is the output of `pkg-config geany`? If its nothing, then you need to find where the install put the package config file (geany.pc) since it isn't in the default places pkg-config searches on your system. Then you need to follow the advice the error message gave and set the environment variable or specify --prefix and --with-geany-libdir.
Cheers Lex
