> Those look OK to me.  Can you post part of config.log?

I'm so sorry. I didn't really know about config.log. I'm really not  
used to doing this. There are some very obvious errors in there, for  
example:

gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-V'
gcc: fatal error: no input files
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-qversion'; did you mean  
'--version'?
gcc: fatal error: no input files
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-V'
gcc: fatal error: no input files
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-qversion'; did you mean  
'--version'?
gcc: fatal error: no input files

Do you want me to post the whole log?

Here are those, for whatever it's worth:

configure:14050: checking whether to use an external spell checker
configure:14250: result: configure enchant
configure:14347: checking for  enchant != 1.6.1
configure:14354: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors " enchant != 1.6.1  
"
Package enchant was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `enchant.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'enchant' found
configure:14357: $? = 1
configure:14371: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors " enchant != 1.6.1  
"
Package enchant was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `enchant.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'enchant' found
configure:14374: $? = 1
configure:14388: result: no
No package 'enchant' found
configure:14404: error: Package requirements ( enchant != 1.6.1 ) 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 SPELL_CFLAGS
and SPELL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
