Installing Pidgin 2.6.6 with Spell checker failed.

[Harold F. Ayers Jr.]

My Windows 7 toybox had an older version of Pidgin installed (and for 
some reason, Aspell wasn't installed at that time).
I noticed that Aspell wasn't installed while installing Pidgin 2.6.6, so 
I selected it to install Aspell, but the installation
kept failing (unknown why, I'm guessing that the Pidgin website was 
either busy, my connection was timing out, or
the Internet gods were mad at me again).
I was finally able to read the FAQ pertaining to installing Aspell 
manually and got Aspell installed. The Pidgin FAQ
doesn't state how to get Aspell working with Pidgin (or VIS-A-VIS).

My question is ...how to get Pidgin working with Aspell?

Thanks
