** update **
hah, had to emerge enchant with aspell flags..


so pidgin isnt correcting my spelling errors :)

i have aspell installed along with the english dictionary and gtkspell...
when i uncheck the option in pidgin config, it displays this debug msg in the console

(pidgin:31179): gtkspell-CRITICAL **: gtkspell_detach: assertion `spell != NULL' failed

any ideas?

Yup, adding aspell to the world USE flags works for me.
Thanks for the hint ;)

Edit:

From the enchant einfo --
"
* Starting with enchant-1.4.0 default spell checking engine has changed
* from aspell to hunspell. In case you used aspell dictionaries to
* check spelling you need either reemerge enchant with aspell USE flag
* or you need to emerge myspell-<lang> dictionaries.
* aspell is faster but has less features then hunspell and most
* distributions by default use hunspell only. Nevertheless in Gentoo
* it's still your choice which library to use...
