I'm a total newbie. I've downloaded ispell to apply to KMail. But I can't figure out the steps to do so. I get some message to: be sure ispell is in your PATH. What does that mean? What specific steps must I take?
export PATH=$PATH:/dir/where/ispell/binary/located/ for [BA]SH
-- or --
setenv PATH $PATH:/dir/where/ispell/binary/located/ for [T]CSH
But... How did you install it? If it was RPM, it should put the binary somewhere already in the $PATH... What is your distro? If RPM-based, get the full list of ispell package (rpm -qpl ispell) and check whether its' binary (usually /usr/bin/ispell) is listed there...
I used MDK 9.0 for my Linux install. Checking /usr/bin/ispell shows "no such file or directory." However, I have Ispell downloaded to my desktop. I guess I need you tell me how to get it from there to the /usr directory and then to Kmail.
Thanks for your interest.
