From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.12; Mac_PowerPC) Description of problem: Wen trying to use the pspell libraries I get the following errors: Unable to load the "aspell" module. I first noticed the problem when trying to use pspell in PHP but the error alos occuers when using the example programs included with the source pspell distribution. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.11.2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. I was origionally trying to use pspell in PHP, but more simply I downloaded the 0.11.2 pspell source (the same one used in the RPM) 2.Configured it and then made the example program (cxx) (in the examples directory) 3.When you try to run it, it gives the error. (PHP gives the exact same error). Actual Results: I got the error: Unable to load the "aspell" module. Expected Results: It should load the aspell module and allow for spell checking. Additional info: I know the pspell stuff works just fine on 7.2, but that's got newer version of almost everything. I will try to get the newer versions of the pspell and aspell RPMs from 7.2 to work on 7.1 and see what happens. But out of the box, pspell does not seem to be working like it should. Aspell seems to work just fine on its own (I can spell check text files and what no just fine).
Do you have pspell-devel and aspell-devel installed?
Yes. Everything compiles just fine, I just get that error when I try to use anything compiled with pspell. Also, I spent a majority of the weekend re-compiling the pspell and aspell rpms that come with 7.2 for 7.1. Pspell compiled without a hitch, aspell took some work (very little actually, it was an issue with libtools). Anyway, after re-compiling them and then installing them anything I now compile with pspell support works just fine. For example PHP compiled with pspell support is now able to check spelling just fine.
The reason I asked was that the -devel packages contains the libtool .la files. pspell/aspell is about the only thing I've seen which sometimes needs these to work properly - this was added to the main packages for RHL 7.2, so I assume it's fixed now (your recompiles working is an indication of this)
So you are telling me that I need to upgrade all my 7.1 boxes to 7.2 in order to fix this? I am not sure that what I am saying is being understood. On RedHat 7.1 (with all applicable updates) pspell does not work, when I try to compile anything to use pspell, even the pspell example scripts (keep in mind that I have to install both -devel RPMs from the 7.1 distribution to do this), I get the error: Unable to load the "aspell" module. This tells me that something is wrong with the pspell distribution that comes with 7.1. Now with that in mind, I can work around the problem in a rather messy fashion. I can download the pspell and aspell SRPMs from the 7.2 distribution, rebuild them (after some tweeking) for use on 7.1. I can then (on a 7.1 box) remove all dependancies on the old pspell and aspell (which there are a few) and install my new RPMs (the ones based on the 7.2 build) and then compile anything to use pspell and they work like they should. Isn't this a problem that should be fixed in 7.1?
Closing, as this was fixed in RHL 7.2.
