Spell checking in opera doesn't work, opera says that aspell isn't
installed (it is).
comandline aspell works fine.
The weirdest thing is that the problem is present at both my workstations,
the one at home and the one at work, one is running FreeBSD 6.0 and the
other 6.1.
Opera 8.5 spellcheck also didn't work, although I do remember that it
worked at some time, although this was a long time ago. (I think that was
with 5.4, not sure though)
Is this a FreeBSD, opera or aspell problem? Look like it's FreeBSD.
I posted this message at the opera forums, unfortunatly without any
results...
I've tried:
removing and installing opera
removing and installing aspell
symlinking libaspell to /usr/X11R6/share/opera/plugins
Looking for some configuration variable, can't find one in GUI,
opera:config or in any of the config files.
Removing my .opera
Running opera as root (Desperate....)
Thank you for reading.
