Apps :: abiword does not spell check

I thought I would try abiword befor I close my dsl project..it looks nice but when I type a few lines of miss spelled words and click spell check..it posts a dialog..spell check complete..with an ok button. does this program require additional files not mentioned in the info file?

why does abiword not spell check.

Firstly, Abiword is a mydsl extension, which is a user-contributed package and not supported directly by DSL developers. This thread would be better served if it was put in one of the mydsl forums.

As far as i can tell, the spellcheck was not included in the mydsl. It is available as a separate package from the abiword website, so i assume it can be added to DSL either through a deb package, or by creating a mydsl package.

Thanks..I guessed that the dictionary was not included or not being accessed.. but was not sure..sorry..and sorry for posting wrong..did not realize.

Moved to the correct forum area to better able future search results.

lovdsl..so devoted some spare time to continue..abiword is a nice .dsl addition.. wanted to add spell check.
apt-get install old stable aspell..does not connect to abiword
apt-get install old stable abiword..will not install
apt-get install stable abiword,,installs 70meg but has error at end on pingapanga? font issue or something...abiword has no text on buttons etc.
so..mydsl the abiword.dsl and abiword works and spell checks
however the error effects other installs..the system is corrupted. so reinstall
questions
1 what do I apt-get to add spell checking to abiword.dsl...or is this possible.
thanks for any on this.
