can't compile gtkspell from source on puppy 4.2

[Jennifer L. Brice]

Ok, I am trying to install pidgin from sources but had to install gtkspell before I could do that, and had to install enchant before I could install gtkspell. Unfortunately even after installing enchant configure for gtkspell is still not finding it. What should I do? I checked the help files and did not find and obvious solution.

Here is my console output. 


# ./configure --with-included-gettext
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-included-gettext
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/ginstall -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... ./install-sh -c -d

checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for GTKSPELL... configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 enchant >= 0.4.0 ) were not met:

No package 'enchant' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GTKSPELL_CFLAGS
and GTKSPELL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I don't know what the pkg_config_path is or how to adjust it, and pkg-config doesn't have a man page. O also don't know how to adjust gtkspell_sflags and gtkspell_libs.

any ideas about what to do next. I am following these instructions in pet packaging.

I am doing this because the updated versions of pidgin on this board don't work with 4.2.

We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had: the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism." Mark Twain
