Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers usually do not have translators to read other languages for them. Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list. Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: Short version : Emacs can no longer use spell checking I have been using a CVS derived carbon build of emacs on OS X for some time, and this new version has a bug running /usr/local/bin/aspell: In GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin8.4.0) of 2006-01-19 on Reason.local X server distributor `Apple Computers', version 10.4.4 configured using `configure '--without-x' '--with-kerboros' '--with-kerberos5' '--prefix=/usr/local'' I have been using this version of aspell for some time: /usr/local/bin/aspell -v @(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.60.2) The error occurs when Emacs tries to start "ispell". The *Messages* buffer shows this when I call "ispell-buffer" Loading ispell...done Starting new Ispell process... Spell checking *scratch* using aspell with default dictionary... Spell-checking using aspell with default dictionary done ispell-get-line: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil The value for ispell-program-name is "/usr/local/bin/aspell", derived from the default list expression: (or (locate-file "aspell" exec-path exec-suffixes 'file-executable-p) "ispell") This error prevents me from spell checking anything within Emacs. This is a show stopper for documents. This error is independent of my ~/.emacs file (I moved it out of the way and it had no effect). If my ~/.aspell.conf would be interesting, then I could send it. But I tried moving it out of the way and nothing improved. I checked that this error is still present in CVS from now: $ date Sun Jan 22 23:00:31 GMT 2006 Looking as emacs/lisp/ChangeLog indicates that ispell and flyspell code has been changed recently. So I expect that this is mainly bad timing on my part. This error did not occur for my previous checkout(s) from CVS. In particular the next-most-recent which I have now reverted to is this vintage: In GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin8.2.0) of 2005-07-30 on Reason.local X server distributor `Apple Computers', version 10.4.4 configured using `configure '--without-x' '--prefix=/usr/local'' This older works flawlessly. It finds /usr/local/bin/aspell and calls it without a hitch. I cannot see any difference in how Emacs is configured between the old and new versions.
