Version: 3.4.0 (using KDE KDE 3.4.0) Installed from: Unspecified Linux OS: Linux Distribution: Ubuntu Hoary Hedgehog When invoking Tools -> Spelling... an error message pops up saying: "The spelling program could not be started. Please make sure you have set the correct spelling program and that it is properly configured and in your PATH." The configured spell checker is ispell, it is installed, and the shell finds it in its search path. Then Quanta crashes with the following backtrace: (no debugging symbols found) Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1".

Actually, it apparently doesn't even have to do with ispell. Quanta just crashes spontaneously.
What kind of binaries do you use? This problem was reported by several people using binary builds, but it goes away if you compile from source and it is not present in the latest SuSE RPM's either. Please report the problem to the creator of the binary package (as well). Andras
Thanks for the advice, Andreas. It's is the Ubuntu Hoary Hedgehog package. I found they have a bug open on this one already: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8437
Recompiling did the job for Ubuntu. Closing bug.
