Description of problem: Emacs's ispell mode (also used by flyspell mode) tries ispell, aspell, and hunspell in that order as spell checkers. Perhaps Red Hat's build should just use hunspell since ispell is no longer available and aspell is non-functional with no dictionaries. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): emacs-23.1-21.el6 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install emacs aspell 2. emacs -q & 3. In emacs, M-x ispell-buffer Actual results: Emacs says: ispell-init-process: Error: No word lists can be found for the language "en_US". Expected results: The spelling checker should work even if aspell is installed. Additional info: In lisp/textmodes/ispell.el, the initialization of ispell-program-name tries aspell, ispell, and hunspell in that order. Change it to try hunspell first.
