How to configure enchant on Ubuntu 12.10

Srini9009

Hi,

Has anyone been able to configure enchant on Ubuntu 12.10?

This is what I have done so far and it is not working.

sudo apt-get install php5-enchant enchant hunspell
sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev

and when I run this program,

<?php
$tag = 'en_US';
$r = enchant_broker_init();

I am getting:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function enchant_broker_init()

Could someone help me PLEASE..I am stuck 🙁

Thanks in advance
Srini

Did you enable the module that "php5-enchant" provides in your php.ini configuration file?

oh, I have not done that. How do I enable it?

Apparently the package should have taken care of that for you; you should have a file located at /etc/php5/conf.d/enchant.ini which uses the PHP ini extension directive to load the enchant.so module.

Did you restart your web server after installing the package?

Yes, I see the file @ /etc/php5/conf.d/enchant.ini

Here is the directory listing:

pwd
/etc/php5/conf.d

ls -l
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Jun 10 18:55 10-pdo.ini -> ../mods-available/pdo.ini
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Jun 10 18:55 20-enchant.ini -> ../mods-available/enchant.ini
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Jun 15 07:53 20-pspell.ini -> ../mods-available/pspell.ini

I have restarted my webserver after installing the package.

Still have error...

Do I need to include/specify enchant.ini in some other file for it to work?

By the way, I am running XAMPP on Ubuntu 12.10.
