Linux: Ispell not working correctly?

[jboes]

Loading scimax on a Linux machine gives the following message

Starting new Ispell process nil with en_US dictionary...
Error enabling Flyspell mode:
(stringp nil)

Selecting a misspelled word gives:

Starting new Ispell process nil with en_US dictionary...
ispell-check-version: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

I can't verify whether this occurs on Windows at the moment.

[jboes]

This is a result of scimax using hunspell rather than aspell.

If a global installation of hunspell is possible on Gilgamesh, it would probably be a good idea.

[jboes]

Also, when correcting typo links, after being asked if I want to delete the link the space directly after the link is deleted as well. This causes the following word to be mashed together with the corrected word.

[jkitchin]

/usr/bin/hunspell installed now.

[jkitchin]

Probably fixed the space issue too.

[jboes]

SciMax Ispell works on Gilgamesh out of the box now.

Removing the typo link leaves a single "]" after the corrected word now.

[jkitchin]

Weird. I can not reproduce the "]" issue on gilgamesh.

The SciMax motto should be: "when in doubt, do a fresh installation."

Everything seems to be working fine for me now.

[jkitchin]

hehe... good to know.

@jkitchin Do you use hunspell on Mac too? I get the same error as Jake was with ispell on mac. Ispell works fine with jmax though

[jkitchin]

Yes I use it on my Mac too.

Did you have to do brew install hunspell and get dictionaries from http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/english-dictionaries-apache-openoffice ? Or is there an easier way to set it up?

[prtkm]

Ok the above seems to work!
