That error is generated by emacs when it tries to spawn a process, and then can=CA=BCt find it. I=CA=BCd search for `call-process' or `make-proces= s', in flycheck and/or proselint and see if the program it=CA=BCs trying to run can be found by emacs using `executable-find'. If not, you may need to adjust your `exec-path' or a configuration variable. You could also try setting `debug-on-error' to t, but I guess flycheck might trap errors. Robert --=20
