You might try building against gtk2, and/or install enchant if it's not installed. Here on gentoo, pan is built --without-gtk3 so against gtk2 (for a long time gtk3 was half broken and the official recommendation was building against gtk2, should be fixed now AFAIK but that's why many distros still build against gtk2), and USE=spell additionally requires >=enchant-1.6 and >=gtkspell-2.0.7:2 (so the 2.x slot, not 3.x), and I have enchant-1.6.1 and gtkspell-2.0.16 installed, with pan building against them and spellcheck working. =:^) As for troubleshooting, in addition to the .configure output summary as posted above, you should have a configure.log (or similar, maybe config.log) after the configure step. That will give you a LOT more detail, including what exactly it tested and why it decided gtkspell wasn't usable, along with the exact line numbers from the .configure script, so you can check (and post if necessary) the specific commands it ran along with the results. When it's a problem with .configure, that very often pins it right down for me, enough to either fix the problem myself or file a good (gentoo) bug reporting the problem, so they can fix it. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
