[cobalt-users] Ispell and Aspell Install from RPMs

["Chris Calabrese" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, I submitted a message yesterday about installing Aspell to work with the
spell checker plug in for SquirrelMail. After struggling with it for a day
or so with no luck (someone suggested I needed to recompile PHP?), I looked
into Ispell. I downloaded it from GNU, and had even less luck with it than I
did with Aspell. I searched the list archives and found a mention of an
Ispell RPM but for the MIPS RaQ 2; I did a Google search and finally found
something I decided to try:
http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/contrib/libc6/i386////ispell-3.1.20-30.1.rh
6.2.i386.html
I ran it on a RaQ 3 and low and behold it worked! It integrated perfectly
with the SquirrelMail spell checker.

Here's my first question: The RaQ 3 I installed it on is sort of a test bed
for me to play with; because of the fact that the machine doesn't get much
use, it's hard for me to tell if there were any "side effects" from
installing the wrong thing. I now want to install the above rpm on a RaQ 4r
that I have several dozen clients hosted on. The above version appears to be
for Red Hat 6.2. I found a ton of rpms for Ispell at:
http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=ispell
Would any of the above be more appropriate?

Second question: I've read that Aspell is "better" than Ispell. At the same
site I found these rpms for Aspell:
http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=aspell
The ones that are specific to Red Hat are for version 7.1. Are there any on
this page that would be appropriate for a RaQ 4r?

Thanks in advance for any help.
