How am i suppose to customize > `ispell-local-dictionary-alist'? It's a defcustom, so using Customize is the preferred way. Of course, you can also set it from Lisp. What I meant specifically is to use the -d switch to tell ispell where to look for the dictionaries. The -d switch accepts absolute file names, AFAIR, and will not try to look in ispell-library-directory for such absolute file names. If that doesn't help, then maybe I don't understand what problem, exactly, are you trying to solve. What bad things happen if you don't change the value of ispell-library-directory from its default? > AFAICS dictionaries, that are added > there, are not visible to `ispell-change-dictionary', because > `ispell-library-directory' points to a wrong directory Even if the dictionaries that are arguments of the -d switch are given as absolute file names? If so, maybe that's the problem that needs fixing.
