I have not tried this, but I believe it, the spell checker, needs to be in a directory called enchant. I also belive that this can be a directory in "home"

Probably best to check with Abiword site for specifics.

Evidently a more complicated desire...yes..I looked at the abiword site but was unable to find proof of a secondary download for the spell checker..noticed with the deb download that there were many adds..abiword. abiword-common, several libs, aspell, ENCHANT1, aspell-en,.amoung others.
had thought maby I could apt-get abiword-common and aspell. thinking that the .dsl required a missing plugin for aspell..perhaps I should just give it up.

Ok..Had another look at abiword today and clued in to the solution for getting the spellchecker to function..I did every thing but the right thing...enchant IS the key it is some form of wrapper ..it is called libenchant1...I installed abiword.dsl..then apt-get stable aspell then apt-get stable libenchant1 abiword now spellchecks..simple.
thanks roberts for sticking the word in my brain for later
