"Me too" :)

I'm seeing the same problem with gnomespell 1.0.5_3 on 5.3-BETA1.  A quick
strings on the library suggests that the required function *is* in the library.

I'm guessing the problem is this, from the config.log:

/usr/local/lib/libaspell.so: undefined reference to `libintl_bindtextdomain'
/usr/local/lib/libaspell.so: undefined reference to `dgettext'
/usr/local/lib/libaspell.so: undefined reference to
`libintl_bind_textdomain_codeset'

HTH
