Hi, I am using GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.7.0, NS
apple-appkit-949.46) on OS X 10.5.8.
When I launch emacs from the terminal with
$ /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs &
I can use ispell as expected.
However, if I launch emacs by clicking on its icon - which presumably points
to the same binary file -
I get the following error:
apply: Searching for program: No such file or directory, ispell
Ispell is on my load path
("/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/textmodes/"); even when I
do one of the following I get the same error:
(load "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/textmodes/ispell")
(add-to-list 'load-path
"/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/textmodes")
The fact that it works if I launch the same application with the same .emacs
file from the terminal (no -Q option necessary) leads me to believe that the
conflict is not in any of my settings.
Thanks much!
-Stephen

The problem is that Emacs can't find the `ispell' binary, probably
because of different PATH settings. Try customising
ispell-program-name, setting it to the full path of ispell.

See the section "Grabbing environment variables" in the Mac OS /
GNUstep chapter of the Emacs manual. PATH is the issue here.

Sorry, I was away on travel and my wireless card seemed to have died...
But thank you for the response. I did set
(custom-set-variables
'(ispell-program-name
"/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/textmodes/ispell"))
and also to ispell.elc instead of ispell
but in either case this does not seem to work. The strange thing is that it
doesn't work only when I launch Emacs through the icon... when I launch
emacs from the terminal, it finds ispell just fine.

Same problem here (but when calling flyspell-mode). I updated /etc/
paths as explained in the Emacs manual, it does not help.
Interestingly enough, M-! ispell works, but M-x ispell or M-x flyspell-
mode do not work.
