    No, you copied things to /usr/lib/enchant before,
    which is not the same as /usr/share/enchant.

    Anyway, things should "just work". Unless SuSe uses a
    broken version of libtool which won't let you use C++
    plugins inside of a C library.

    In case James Olgey is paying attention, I think that
    libtool 1.6 fixes this. Alternately, you can do
    something like "CC=c++ ./configure && make && make
    install".

    Things you can try:

    1)
    Type 'enchant-lsmod' sometime, and email me back the
    results. Make sure that you have some backends
    installed.

    2)
    Type 'enchant-lsmod -lang', to see what backend
    Enchant would use for your environment variable $LANG.

    3)
    Type 'enchant-lsmod -lang en', to see what backend
    Enchant would use for English. Try '-lang es' to see
    what backend it would use for Spanish.

    4)
    Type 'echo "helllo" | enchant -a' to see if Enchant
    will come up with a list of suggestions for "helllo".
    If you're running in a Spanish locale, try a similarly
    misspelled Spanish word with obvious suggestions.
