Problem using aspell

3 messages · Duncan Temple Lang, Christopher Simon

Hello,

I've recently installed the package Aspell, it appears the install went 
just fine. but when I try to use aspell I get the following error,

 > aspell("love")
Error in getSpeller() :
   No word lists can be found for the language "en_US".


I also installed aspell and hunspell seperately using GitHubs homebrew.  
I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to installation subtles from sources 
files.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Best,

-Chris

Hi Chris

 You need to install the aspell dictionaries for Aspell
to work.

See ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/0index.html

Thanks that did it.  I thought when I used the installer brew (like 
macports) with the option --lang=en_US, that it put it in.  Anyways, 
thanks for responding.

Best,
-Chris
