Install enchant by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static && make
To run tests, unittest-cpp must be installed and the --enable-relocatable option passed to configure
above. If these conditions are present, the tests may be run with
make check.
Now, as the root user:
make install && rm -rf /usr/include/enchant && ln -sfv enchant-2 /usr/include/enchant && ln -sfv enchant-2 /usr/bin/enchant && ln -sfv libenchant-2.so /usr/lib/libenchant.so && ln -sfv enchant-2.pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig/enchant.pc
--disable-static: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
rm -rf /usr/include/enchant; ln -sfn ...: Create symlinks for this package version so that other other packages can find it using the old name.
You can test your installation and configuration by creating a test file and running the following commands (you can replace the en_GB dictionary by any other downloaded when installing Aspell-0.60.8):
cat > /tmp/test-enchant.txt << "EOF"
Tel me more abot linux

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.
