Oh man.. these bugs,  I once built LFS
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_From_Scratch)  and later I built
mane packages on SOURCEMAGE and then for many months I used Gentoo. I
left building from source because of the (computation time + CPU Life
+ my time)  it takes. Arch I found to be what I wanted.

I have enchant 1.6 available  for Arch Linux and I can build even a
pacman package out of it too:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/enchant1.6/

But since I did not do any work :o)   (mostly you did) and am pretty
thankful for this. Since the whole point was about spell checking, I
think I can put the text as gmail drafts, do all the spell checks and
then can post through Pan on USENET.  It would be better than keeping
enchant 1 and 2 on my system and doing all the source level stuff.
Once I used to be so much enthusiastic about this and even found some
bugs in a well respected reference manual for a programming  language
too but now this age, I want to finish my work and use Open Source and
Libre Software.
