Spell Check Not working

[steve3g]

I am struggling to get the spell checker to work. I have confirmed that pyenchant is installed (I have also installed symspellpy and pyspellchecker), but when I look at Tools-Dictionaries, it says that the applications are not installed.

I do not know where to look for a cure. Is there a log file somewhere.

Can you share with us the version of Manuskript and operating system that you are using?

Xubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
Linux 5.0.0-27-generic x86_64
Manuskript Version 0.9.0
Python 3.6.8
PyQt 5.10.1
Qt 5.9.5
pyenchant 2.0.0

How did you install Manuskript? Did you use the binary or run-from-source-code method?
If binary, which filename did you download and install?

In addition to having PyEnchant installed along with some dictionaries, Manuskript also requires:

• Select a language from Tools -> Dictionary
• Enable spellcheck with the Tools -> Spellcheck toggle

Symspellpy and pyspellchecker are two optional spell checkers whose key use is for Windows 10 users running 64-bit Python. These are not required on GNU/Linux (Xubuntu).

Thanks for the hint. I had installed Manusckript through the native Software Installer GUI in Xubuntu. It obviously did not install all of the dependencies correctly. I uninstalled, downloaded the debian package from the website, installed the package, and fixed the dependencies. Everything works now.
