Dear all,

after starting my Emacs 22 with --no-site-file ispell fails with the
following error:

  Autoloading failed to define function ispell-region

The same error occurs when starting Emacs without the --no-site-file
option.

ispell itself seems to be loaded:

  Loading ispell...
  Loading /var/cache/dictionaries-common/emacsen-ispell-default.el
(source)...done
  Loading ispell...done
  Autoloading failed to define function ispell-region

Ispell also works on the command line.

What to do?

Thanks, Ulrich

This is GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll
bars)
 of 2007-12-15 on noname, modified by Debian

Adding a

	(require 'ispell)

into your init file? It won't get loaded twice.

requiring ispell yields the same error as discribed in my post

  Error while loading 50dictionaries-common

Sorry, I misunderstood your description! Reading it again, it might  
help then to add the line to 50dictionaries-common.el, quite early.  
Obviously this file does use some ispell function before everything's  
prepared. Another thing might need to be prepared, i.e. set: ispell- 
program-name. At some time its value was changed from ispell to  
aspell – could be this triggers the error. You can check that  
variable's value. And you can also check which dictionaries for  
aspell and ispell are available.

BTW, what is debian support doing? Obviously debian is the culprit  
making GNU Emacs load files that don't come with GNU Emacs.

Can you check also, if you have differents versions of emacs installed (or been
installed) if /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp or /usr/share/emacs-snapshot/site-lisp
exist and contain dictionaries-common with all it's files.
If not, you will have to uninstall/reinstall one version of emacs or create a
symlink from the valid site-lisp to the other.
