[cobalt-users] Spell Checker on RaQ4: ispell installation?

["Tim Bolt" <timbolt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Many thanks to all who helped with the IMP & .htaccess issues.  All 
sorted, and I will happily relay the specifics of my set-up if anyone 
needs it.


I noticed in pine and now in IMP that there is an opportunity to use 
a spell checker, but none seems installed on the Cobalt RaQs.  The 
preferred one must be ispell.

Anyone have experience installing this?  The installation 
instructions are a bit intimidating...

    "Ispell is quite portable (thanks to many people).  If you 
    speak American English and have a BSD-like system, you may be
    able to get away with simply typing "make all" to finish 
    unpacking the kit and make ispell and a dictionary, all 
    configured to be installed in /usr/local/*. 
    If you have a USG (System V) system,
    you will at least have to copy "local.h.samp" to "local.h", then
    add "#define USG" to local.h before compiling.  Be sure you have
    at least 10 MB of free space in /tmp, or set your TMPDIR
    environment variable to point somewhere with that much space."

And it goes on.  I have done a "make install", but not on the RaQ and want to be 'safe' when doing it.

Help or instructions?

Thanks,
Tim
