Dear all,
after starting my Emacs 22 with --no-site-file ispell fails with the
following error:
Autoloading failed to define function ispell-region
The same error occurs when starting Emacs without the --no-site-file
option.
ispell itself seems to be loaded:
Loading ispell...
Loading /var/cache/dictionaries-common/emacsen-ispell-default.el
(source)...done
Loading ispell...done
Autoloading failed to define function ispell-region
Ispell also works on the command line.
What to do?
Thanks, Ulrich
This is GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll
bars)
of 2007-12-15 on noname, modified by Debian

Adding a
(require 'ispell)
into your init file? It won't get loaded twice.

How many Microsoft engineers does it take to screw in a light-bulb?
None.
They just redefine "dark" as the new standard.

requiring ispell yields the same error as discribed in my post
Error while loading 50dictionaries-common

Sorry, I misunderstood your description! Reading it again, it might
help then to add the line to 50dictionaries-common.el, quite early.
Obviously this file does use some ispell function before everything's
prepared. Another thing might need to be prepared, i.e. set: ispell-
program-name. At some time its value was changed from ispell to
aspell – could be this triggers the error. You can check that
variable's value. And you can also check which dictionaries for
aspell and ispell are available.
BTW, what is debian support doing? Obviously debian is the culprit
making GNU Emacs load files that don't come with GNU Emacs.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to
build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying
to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

Can you check also, if you have differents versions of emacs installed (or been
installed) if /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp or /usr/share/emacs-snapshot/site-lisp
exist and contain dictionaries-common with all it's files.
If not, you will have to uninstall/reinstall one version of emacs or create a
symlink from the valid site-lisp to the other.
