Greetings! When I type 'M-x ispell-buffer RETURN' I get the following output: "Searching for program: no such file or directory, ispell". I tried to google my way out of it, but did not find anything helpfull. I tried to reinstall 'ispell.el' by searching where it belongs with 'M-x locate-library RETURN ispell', and getting "Library is file /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/textmodes/ispell.elc". I downloaded a new 'ispell.el' from //kdstevens.com/~stevens/ispell-page.html#download , placed it together with existing .elc and recompiled directory with '(byte-recompile-directory "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/textmodes/")'. It did not do the trick. Could you please help me out? With best regards, Rostyslav.
