Re: [Pan-devel] Re: RPM for gtkspell?

[Jeff Vian]

I got the rpm package for gtkspell-2.0.0-1 (i686 build) and installed it.
HOWEVER, it installed it in /usr/local.
Since I wanted to replace the earlier version I had to compile from the 
source and change the prefix so it would be installed correctly.
