Install enchant by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static && make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install
--disable-static: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
If you wish to use the Aspell-0.60.6.1 backend, create a symlink,
as the root user:
ln -svfn ../../lib/aspell /usr/share/enchant/aspell
You can test your installation and configuration by creating a test file and running the commands in the following (you can replace the en_GB dictionary by any other downloaded when installing Aspell-0.60.6.1):
cat > /tmp/test-enchant.txt << "EOF"

enchant -d en_GB -l /tmp/test-enchant.txt &&
enchant -d en_GB -a /tmp/test-enchant.txt
You will see a list of the misspelled words followed by a list of alternatives for them.
