When I launch emacs from the terminal with $ /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs & I can use ispell as expected. However, if I launch emacs by clicking on its icon - which presumably points to the same binary file - I get the following error: apply: Searching for program: No such file or directory, ispell Ispell is on my load path ("/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/textmodes/"); even when I do one of the following I get the same error: (load "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/textmodes/ispell") (add-to-list 'load-path "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/textmodes") The fact that it works if I launch the same application with the same .emacs file from the terminal (no -Q option necessary) leads me to believe that the conflict is not in any of my settings.

I did set (custom-set-variables '(ispell-program-name "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/textmodes/ispell")) and also to ispell.elc instead of ispell but in either case this does not seem to work. The strange thing is that it doesn't work only when I launch Emacs through the icon... when I launch emacs from the terminal, it finds ispell just fine.

You can fix it by one of several means. Please refer to the manual or search on the net about Emacs Mac OS X, and path. Emacs does none of this by default to avoid unexpected differences from other OS X applications, which follow the same rules. If you do not like this behavior, the Aquamacs distribution does set PATH I believe. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
