The current version of Xchat is 2.6.0-6. Version 2.6.6 was released on 17July. A release of 2.6.7 for Linux is imminent. The later versions support spell checking, which is a good thing. There are configuration options that provide choices for spell checking mechanisms. By default, configure will elect to link in libsexy if found. libsexy will use enchant by default. I built 2.6.6 using the src rpm from 2.6.0-6. I used a simplistic approach: * downloaded the 2.6.6 tar ball from xchat.org * edited the 2.6.0 spec file - changed the version numbers - stripped out all of the patches [:-)] Builds and runs fine. There is also a newer version of enchant available: enchant: 1.2.6 -Joseph -- joseph_sacco [at] comcast [dot] net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
