2. Getting Started

2.1 Obtaining

The latest version of pspell can always be found at the pspell home page at http://pspell.sourceforge.net/

2.2 Installation

To install the library simply type

./configure
make
make install
Then install at least one pspell module. You can find more information about available modules from the Pspell home page.

After all the pspell modules are installed

cd modules
./add-modules
cd ..
make
make install
Which will link in the pspell modules.

2.3 Helping Out

Right now the area I need the most help in is better shared library support and on the ispell module. If you are interested in helping out please contact me at kevinatk@home.com.

If you wish to work on Pspell you will need the CVS version of libtool (HEAD) branch as well as autoconf and automake. The released version of autoconf has a small bug in it which will cause it to think ``.C'' is the extension of executables. To fix this you need to apply the patch ``autoconf-exeext.patch'' which can be found in the pspell distribution.
