enchant is at 2.1.2-3 in arch.

[Ahmet Öztürk (dmxe)]

This is due to a deprecation in newer enchant versions. This was fixed in trunk. But enchant-2.2 breaks the compatibility again by bumping the API name to enchant-2. This will be addressed shortly. This changes may never be ported to 1.4 branch, but a separate branch may be created.

@ Tobias Wolter : Hello, I had the same problem and it is caused by the change in naming convention from libenchant 2.1 to libenchant 2.2

The relevant file goes from being /usr/lib/libenchant.so.2.1.2 to /usr/lib/libenchant-2.so.2.2.3 which causes the problem. On Arch, the workaround is to create a symlink like this

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libenchant-2.so.2 /usr/lib/libenchant.so.2

This resolves the problem for me and it also sorts out other breaking packages like WikidPad and Empathy

Before doing the symlink you can either look into usr/lib/libenchant.xxx to see it the file naming is indeed the problem or run the command below to see the output:

pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libenchant.so.2
