I had a broken aspell installation which worked for certain options (for example --lang el) but not with the option that ispell.el sends. The error messages were from aspell itself. The replies by ehud and Eli Zaretskii made me look further and unearth the misconfiguration. Now aspell is working fine with or without emacs. Thanks for your help. For future reference here are the details. Similarly to ehud I evaluate (setq ispell-program-name "aspell") (add-to-list 'ispell-dictionary-alist '("el" "[a-zA-Z``A_long_list_of_octal_characters'']" "[^a-zA-Z``A_long_list_of_octal_characters'']" "['\"]" t ("latin/greek") nil iso-8859-7)) (setq ispell-dictionary "el") (ispell-change-dictionary "el") (set-default 'ispell-local-dictionary "el") where ``A_long_list_of_octal_characters'' is a list of all characters used by modern greek. I generated the list by evaluating (insert (mapconcat (lambda (c) (format "\\%o" (multibyte-char-to-unibyte c))) "List_of_greek_characters")) where I typed the "List_of_greek_characters" using the input-method "greek" from Mule. (I found this in Emacs Wiki). If anybody wants to have the list of octals itself I can provide it. -- Charity in capitalism is like urinating to extinguish a forest fire. -- Neon Absentius absent a.in.cirle sdf period lonestar period org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
