Description Jonathan Kamens 2009-05-01 04:00:21 UTC
ispell-program-name is set to "hunspell" in emacs.
I have hunspell, hunspell-en, and hunspell-he installed.
"hunspell -a" prints:

@(#) International Ispell Version 3.2.06 (but really Hunspell 1.2.8)
Can't open affix or dictionary files.

"hunspell -d en_US -a" works, but shouldn't there be a default?

The man page claims that /usr/share/myspell/default.aff and /usr/share/myspell/default.pic are the defaults, but (a) they don't exist, and (b) strace on "hunspell -a" doesn't show it trying to read them.

That same strace shows hunspell behaving rather oddly, e.g.:

24781 open("/usr/share/myspell/LC_CTYPE=en_US;LC_NUMERIC=en_US;LC_TIME=en_US;LC_COLLATE=C;LC_MONETARY=en_US;LC_MESSAGES=en_US;LC_PAPER=en_US;LC_NAME=en_US;LC_ADDRESS=en_US;LC_TELEPHONE=en_US;LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US;LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.aff", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Say what?

Comment 1 Caolan McNamara 2009-05-01 07:29:34 UTC
give me the output of...

echo hello wrld | strace -f hunspell -a 2>&1 | grep myspell | sort | uniq

and the output of 

locale

the problem would probably go away with 
export LC_ALL="en_US.utf8"

If I'm right, this'll probably be the right sort of fix
