I am using emacs built from pkgsrc, and M-x ispell runs aspell, via ispell-program variable set to /usr/pkg/bin/aspell. It seems to work fine. Sometimes I even run it. > I don't remember why aspell didn't work for me (I have hacks in my > .emacs.el to try to use it), but I do remember it was much easier to fix > ispell than to make aspell work. For me, it seems to be default. See ispell.el, defcustom for ispell-program-name. > At Wed, 03 Feb 2021 08:33:11 -0500, Greg Troxel <gdt%lexort.com@localhost> wrote: > Subject: Re: ispell-british (for 9.0/amd64) has broken hash files >> >> If you follow upstream's build instructions, not using pkgsrc, does it >> work? > > I guess so?

I see - I did not get that impression earlier and thought this was an upstrream rototill being submitted to pkgsrc. >> It sounds like you should be sending your fixes to ispell upstream, but >> maybe there is a pkgsrc bug, vs, a lack of pkgsrc workaround for an >> upstream bug. > > Here's the PR with my fixes: pkg/55972 Thanks - I hope someone has a look at this. I may, in a bit, but I would be very happy if someone beats me to it!
