Failed to setup spellchecker #171

Closed burdges closed 9 years ago

burdges commented 9 years ago

Any idea how to fix this error? Failed to setup spellchecker: enchant error for language: en_US.UTF-8

Is this cause by enchant not understanding the .UTF-8 because that's an OS X thing? I hear enchant uses UTF-8 internally so presumably it should be quite happy with this encoding.

Just fixed it by installing aspell-dict-en, after first observing that no combinations of LANG=en_US or LANG=en client followed by client or enchant t.txt worked.

I'd thought enchant used AppleSpell if no dictionaries were installed : https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-osx-users-list/2011-June/msg00004.html

Apparently not though. I'd imagine enchant's configure script invocation lacks the --enable-applespell option in the portfile. I've emailed the maintainer.

I'm running Pond under XQuartz on Mac OS X with all dependencies like GTK3 built using MacPorts, btw.

There is a separate issue that pond doesn't afaik actually do anything with the spellchecker, but hey.
