Kile spell check doesn't work
I've just installed Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon.
I've also installed kile and texlive-full.
The problem is that I can't use the spell checker into Kile: when I click on Tools->Spelling appears this message "The spelling program could not be started. Please make sure you have set the correct spelling program and that it is properly configured and in your PATH".
aspell and aspell-LANG are correctly installed, but I can't find where I can set the spelling program into Kile.
Can you help me?
It is very important, because I have to write my thesis.
Thanks!
Re: Kile spell check doesn't work
Presumably you need to use KDE's control center to set the spell checker to Aspell since Kile is a KDE app.
KDE Components -> Spell Checker
Maybe that'll help?
Re: Kile spell check doesn't work
Thanks!
Now it works perfectly! :-D
However I can't understand why in Debian it works well directly without this procedure...
Re: Kile spell check doesn't work
I'm having the same problem. I installed Kile, installed Apsell, and installed Kcontrol. I went into Kcontrol and made the required changes to the Spell Check settings, but nothing happened in Kile. When I try to run Spell Check it give me the same error. I went into the Kile settings and tried to change the dictionary, but I'm not sure where the aspell dictionary file is, in order to direct Kile to it, not to mention I don't even know if that is the problem.
Thanks for your help!

Re: Kile spell check doesn't work
I will take the liberty of reviving this topic with a follow up question.
What about encoding? Kile does not pass encoding information to aspell.
For instance. From the command line I can check files with non-default encodings:
Code:
aspell --encoding=iso-8859-1 -lpt_BR check test.tex
With kile, only documents encoded with UTF8 can checked. Otherwise, words with non-ASCII character will all be tagged as misspelled.
Changing the defauts for the Spellcheker with KDE kcontrol doesn't have any effect. Is this fixable from inside Kile?
Re: Kile spell check doesn't work
Thanks it worked!
Just for future reference. this steps were what I followed:
1. open the Synaptic manager and install
Kile
apsell
kcontrol
2. goto Applications->Other->Spell Checker
in client choose Aspell, this will change the dictionary to Aspell (for me by default appeared Ispell as dictionary).
3. restart Kile (if it is open)
Re: Kile spell check doesn't work
So I followed these directions and I still get the PATH error that people above did.
What do I need to do to make Kile spellcheck??
Re: Kile spell check doesn't work
Hi,
I had the same problem on Intrepid 8.10 with KDE4, I couldn't get it to work by following this thread, but by using a Hardy installation I found out what needs to be done.
The speller to use is stored the file:
Code:
~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals
please backup this file before proceeding.
Open the file in your text editor of choice and locate the section beggining with the line:
The first line after that should be
as far as I understand this means "use ISpell", so simply by setting
and restarting kile, the program (and the rest of KDE) should now use ASpell.
Cheers, hope I helped.
Disclaimer, I know close to nothing about KDE's configuration files so please don't hate me if this breaks your configuration.

I have no [KSpell] in this my file. When I put info as you suggested nothing happence. May be there is another solution?
Re: Kile spell check doesn't work
Hi rustamych,
Try to add the following section
Code:
[KSpell]
KSpell_Client=1
KSpell_DictFromList=1
KSpell_Dictionary=american
KSpell_Encoding=0
KSpell_NoRootAffix=0
KSpell_RunTogether=0
If it still doesn't work, then try to install kate.
Code:
sudo aptitude install kate
Hopefully it would work
