Can't open affix or dictionary flies

Can't open affix or dictionary flies

[Oliver Jones]

Hello everone,

this is my first eMail to the list.
I have trouble getting spellchecking to work with Emacs 24.2.1 and Hunspell 1.3.2 on Windows XP.

I have read the help about spelling in the built in manual and searched the internet where I 
found advice to include these lines to my ~/.emacs.d/init.el file.

(setq ispell-dictionary-alist
    '((nil ; default
       "[a-zäöüßA-ZÄÖÜ]" "[^a-zäöüßA-ZÄÖÜ]" "[']" t
       ("-d" "C:\\Dokumente und Einstellungen\\ojones\\Eigene 
Dateien\\dictionaries\\de_DE_frami" "-i" "utf-8") nil utf-8)
      ("english"
       "[A-Za-z]" "[^A-Za-z]" "[']" nil
       ("-d" "en_GB") nil utf-8)
      ("german"
       "[a-zäöüßA-ZÄÖÜ]" "[^a-zäöüßA-ZÄÖÜ]" "[']" t
       ("-d" "'C:\\Dokumente und Einstellungen\\ojones\\Eigene 
Dateien\\dictionaries\\de_DE_frami'" "-i" "utf-8") nil utf-8)
      ("british"
       "[A-Za-z]" "[^A-Za-z]" "[']" nil
       ("-d" "en_GB") nil utf-8)))
(eval-after-load "ispell"
     (progn
       (setq ispell-dictionary "german"
	    ispell-extra-args '("-a" "-i" "utf-8") ; aspell doesn't understand -i utf-8, hunspell 
needs it
	    ispell-silently-savep t)))
(setq ispell-program-name "C:\\Dokumente und Einstellungen\\ojones\\Eigene 
Dateien\\hunspell-mingw-1.3.2-win32\\bin\\hunspell.exe")

where I made changes regarding the path to the affix and dictionary files and the hunspell.exe.

I verified that hunspell works, by executing it on the command line.

When I type M-x ispell in emacs I get the following error message

Can't open affix or dictionary flies for dictionary named "german".
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.2.06 (but really Hunspell 1.3.2)
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.2.06 (but really Hunspell 1.3.2)

Any help is highly appreciated.

Kind Regards
Oliver

Is its name really "german"? Or is it "deutsch"? You can try to use the interactive function ispell-change-dictionary to load any other ispell dictionary. Which dictionaries does ispell see? In which directory is it looking? Is there anything to correct in your settings?
