This is a fundamental problem with shipping binaries against a moving
platform, in this case gnome. The version of and library structure of GAL
the binary rpm was built with, changed between the build and the release.
I don't know why the gnome build requires both ispeall and aspell though.
They are mutally exclusive. Any ideas Dom?
This sort of problem will be alleviated once gnome 1.4 is released. In the
meantime your best bet is to hope that helix-code packages an updated
gnome abi for you.
The final alternative to download the source tarball and compile it by
doing...
make ABI_OPT_GNOME=1 ABI_OPT_ASPELL=1 install
This is almost certainly the quickest way of getting a 0.7.12 abi with
gnome and apsell.
Cheers
Martin
