Yup that fixed it :-)

$ yum info hunspell-devel | grep ersion
Version: 1.1.12.2
$

I got a different problem building on Debian, though :-(

Yes.

I wonder, until TeXWorks is packaged for distros, if its worth
maintaining a wiki page about how to compile it on each majro distro
would be good IMO. I can't edit the wiki to do this, but if you'd like
me to, feel free to set permissions for my gaccount
(d.crossland at gmail.com). What I have in mind is something like:

Fedora:

# yum install poppler-devel qt4-devel hunspell-devel
$ svn checkout http://texworks.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ texworks-read-only
$ cd texworks-read-only
$ qmake
$ make
$ ./texworks

Debian:

# aptitude install build-essential qt4-dev-tools qt4-qtconfig
qt4-designer qt4-doc popplerkit.framework poppler-utils
libhunspell-dev hunspell hunspell-dictionary-en-gb  freetype
freetype-tools freetype2-demos freetype1-dev freetype1-tools
fontconfig fontconfig-config zlib1 zlib1g zlib1-dev zlib1g-dev
zlib-bin svn
$ svn checkout http://texworks.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ texworks-read-only
$ cd texworks-read-only
$ qmake
$ make
