Installing the libgtkspell development library did the trick. Thanks! I thought I had it installed.
I am surprised that the configure script didn't report that it wouldn't enable spell checking in the summary at the end.
Is spell checking built into the precompiled versions linked to in the Download page? The 0.42.2 version I have installed from the Fedora extras does not appear to have included it.

I am wondering how I can get the spell checker to work. I have compiled Inkscape from today's cvs on a Fedora Core 4 system and as with past versions of Inkscape, the spell checking doesn't work. Yes, I am looking at the Text tab in the Text and Font dialog. Can someone give me some hints on where to begin to debug the problem?
Make sure libgtkspell development libraries are installed when you configure inkscape.
(I haven't tested in a while, btw; am just about to leave computer.)
