need help with mozilla spell checker!!

[bsd_junkie]

I am running mozilla 1.4 on freebsd under linux emulation. I need spell 
checking for the email client so i went to the following site to install it.

 http://spellchecker.mozdev.org/installation.html

At the site above i choose the l.4 install, it said it installed ok but 
there is no spell check. I checked the install.log and it showed 
everything going into the the /usr/local/mozilla/components dir. The 
files that the log showed to put into the above are indeed there, so 
what gives?
I have restarted mozilla several times as root and rebooted the machine 
to no avail.
