Subject: ispell gives "Wrong type argument: stringp, nil"
Date: Mon, 26 Dec 2005 22:49:13 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pYqdncBvcaN1fi3eRVn-ig@scnresearch.com> (raw)
I finally got the debugging information I needed....The *Backtrace* buffer
yields the following when I attempt to run ispell...
I'n running ntemacs 21.3 on windows xp.
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
looking-at(nil)
ispell-get-word(nil)
ispell-word(nil nil nil)
call-interactively(ispell-word)
Since I'm not about to start learning how to code in yet another langauge
and I've got to get some work done, can someone lend a debugging hand?
I forgot to mention emacs is the biz!
Help?
Jeff.
