Setup issue: ImportError: libhunspell-1.3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[mit456]

Hello,

Thanks for sharing the project, I got all the resources, and I am trying to setup but inside virtualenv. Steps followed to setup:

1. clone project.
2. make project a virtaulenv project, virtualenv -p python3 ./
3. pip install -r requirements.txt

After this, I tried to import AutoChecker like from autospell.autochecker import AutoChecker but getting following error,

ImportError: libhunspell-1.3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any idea why it could be? Did I make any mistake in setup?

Hi-- So, I've restructured the entire project and added a setup.py for easy installation. You should probably get rid of your current install, re-clone, and follow the new setup instructions I've included in the README. Note, in particular, the installation pitfalls related to the CyHunspell dependency. Your ibhunspell-1.3.so.0 error is almost certainly related to a failed install of this project since CyHunspell should include hunspell in its install after first checking to see if it's already installed. Note that all of this assumes that you're on OSX. Let me know if all of this works!

Hello,

Thanks for your prompt reply, I am using Linux not OSX but now it works, I had to uninstall CyHunspell and reinstall again and it started working but I am facing another issue,

corrections = auto_checker.correct_spelling("Watching youself from an outsde perspectve")

The above statement works well and it gets corrected as Watching yourself from an outside prespective but when I do

corrections = auto_checker.correct_spelling("Watching youself from an outs de perspect ve")

I get

Why?

Hi, I just pushed a fix and tested things on several hundred thousand sentences. Let me know if that works.
