thanks. After i wrote to you, i worked on it... updated my blog about
it.
After 2 hours, i did these init steps:
(setq speck-engine (quote Hunspell))
(setq speck-hunspell-language-options
(quote (("da" utf-8 nil t nil)
("de" iso-8859-1 nil t nil)
("en" utf-8 nil nil nil)
("fr" iso-8859-1 nil nil nil)
("it" iso-8859-1 nil nil nil)
("ru" koi8-r nil nil nil))))
(setq speck-hunspell-program "C:/Program Files (x86)/ErgoEmacs5/
hunspell/hunspell.exe")
(setq speck-hunspell-library-directory "C:/Program Files (x86)/
ErgoEmacs5/hunspell/")
(setq speck-hunspell-default-dictionary-name "en_US")
then, M-x speck-mode didn't give any error, with emacs status bar
showing “[en_US]”, indicating that it is running, and is also listed
by describe-mode. However, incorrect words isn't highlighted in
anyway. Calling speck-region on a region that has bad words also
doesn't seem to do anything.
So, i have same experience as you. The older version worked for me no
problem.
I wrote a email to the guy yesterday and he replied today and i
haven't processed it yet. Will update when i eventually got things
worked out.
