Hi,
I am using in SUSE Linux the following in my .emacs, and it works:
(setq ispell-dictionary "german")
(setq ispell-local-dictionary "german")
(setq flyspell-default-dictionary "german")
In Debian Lenny the dictionary is called ngerman and I use the same as above,
only with "ngerman" instead of german. The problem now is, that spell checking
wont work on emacs in lenny. When doing "ispell-buffer" I get the error (in
*Messages*):
Starting new Ispell process [ngerman] ...
Spell-checking test using ispell with ngerman dictionary...
Spell-checking test using ispell with ngerman dictionary done
ispell-get-line: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil
No spell chacking takes place :-(
What is wrong?
Greetings,
Christian

This looks more like ispell is trying to read the file (or buffer) to
spell-check and fails. So it should not be related to the new
dictionary.

I don't know. You may try the same with some English dialect. What is
your ispell-personal-dictionary?

Strangly American works:
(setq ispell-dictionary "american")
(setq ispell-local-dictionary "american")
(setq flyspell-default-dictionary "american")
I have not set a ispell-personal-dictionary (Its value is nil).
I am really lost :-( I am not so good at typing, and I make a lot of mistakes,
so without ispell (flyspell) I cannot really work :-(
I hope you can help.
Greetings,
Christian

are you sure the dictionary is called "ngerman"? why do you think it is? have
you tried using "german"? type M-x ispell-change-dictionary and then hit TAB to
see what dictionaries Emacs actually knows about.

Thats it! The name of the dictionary is german-new. However the file is called
ngerman, thats why I made the wrong decission.
Thanks very much!
