Instllation of PHP4 + IMAP + Apache + Aspell + etc

Anon

Dear all,

Any one manage to get aspell installed with PHP4 + Apache? I always come up with error like "undefine reference to 'aspell_...' ", did I do something majorly wrong?

PHP doesn't work with newer versions of aspell. The next version of PHP 4 will probably work with "pspell" which is a layer which is put in front of aspell:
http://pspell.sourceforge.net/

If you need pspell support now, then you may get the CVS-version of PHP. Or - if you use Linux (Red Hat, SuSE or Mandrake):

Troels,

Thanks, just got it working with aspell version 0.26, at least it will compile.

Thanks for posting this question -- I've been beating my head against this thing for a week. Searched the PHP site about a million times. . .etc. I'm not exactly what you'd call a linux/PHP newbie, but I was having a hard time. I'm going to try reinstalling my web server (again) with aspell .26.2 -- hope it works.

thanks again!

This is a really really tricky procedure. I say just either check out some tutorials online of how to do it, or follow this link. http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html That is the exact same thing as php and apache and such.

Aspell version 0.26.2 can be downloaded from SourceForge here

Although, I would reiterate the suggestion of using [man]psell[/man] instead, as per this quote from the PHP.net manual:

Note: This extension has been removed from PHP and is no longer available as of PHP 4.3.0. If you want to use spell-checking capabilities in PHP, use pspell instead. It uses [man]pspell[/man] library and works with newer versions of aspell.
