FLyspell mode turns on and when I attempt and when I attempt to either spell check the document or simply check a word I get the following error in the minibuffer: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil I've added the following lines to my .emacs file: ; set some reftex modes (setq reftex-extra-bindings t) (setq reftex-plug-info-AUCTeX t) (setq bib-cite-use-reftex-view-crossref t) (setq reftex-cite-format 'natbib) (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill) (add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'turn-on-reftex) ; with AUCTeX LaTeX mode (add-hook 'latex-mode-hook 'turn-on-reftex) ; with Emacs latex mode ;; to make auctex aware of style files and multi-file docs (setq TeX-auto-save t) (setq TeX-parse-self t) (setq-default TeX-master nil) (require 'tex-site) ;;; try the flyspell stuff..

I've got an old installation on another machine (not sure the versions on the old machine) and it works just fine. I'm running emacs 21.3.1 with the ispell-3.2.06 downloaded from http://www.fsci.fuk.kindai.ac.jp/aftp/pub/ptex/utils/ Any help? Jeff.
