The enchant package provides a generic interface into various existing spell checking libraries.
Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the books.

Install enchant by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \ --disable-static \ --docdir=/usr/share/doc/enchant-2.8.2 && 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
--disable-static
: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
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-0.60.8.1):
cat > /tmp/test-enchant.txt << "EOF"

enchant-2 -d en_GB -l /tmp/test-enchant.txt &&
enchant-2 -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.
