The system manager just installed texworks on my machine running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 and it appears to be working fine. Except that I can't seem to activate the dictionary. The files seem to be in the right place:<br>
<br>
[thacker@autumn ~]$ cd /usr/share/myspell/<br>
[thacker@autumn myspell]$ ls<br>
en_AG.aff en_BW.dic en_GB.aff en_IE.dic en_NG.aff en_SG.dic en_ZW.aff<br>
en_AG.dic en_BZ.aff en_GB.dic en_IN.aff en_NG.dic en_TT.aff en_ZW.dic<br>
en_AU.aff en_BZ.dic en_GH.aff en_IN.dic en_NZ.aff en_TT.dic<br>
en_AU.dic en_CA.aff en_GH.dic en_JM.aff en_NZ.dic en_US.aff<br>
en_BS.aff en_CA.dic en_HK.aff en_JM.dic en_PH.aff en_US.dic<br>
en_BS.dic en_DK.aff en_HK.dic en_NA.aff en_PH.dic en_ZA.aff<br>
en_BW.aff en_DK.dic en_IE.aff en_NA.dic en_SG.aff en_ZA.dic<br>
<br>
But when I go to the editor tab for texworks preferences to choose the spell-check language, none is the only choice.<br>
<br>
How to activate the spelling checker?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
