Hi all,
I want to get a list of correction for a word (using the ispell-mode).
Note that Flyspell works correctly.
ispell-current-dictionary
=> "francais"
(lookup-words "maiso*") ;; maison, house in french
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "egrep error: /bin/egrep:
/usr/dict/words: No such file or directory")
signal(error ("egrep error: /bin/egrep: /usr/dict/words: No such
file or directory"))
error("%s error: %s" "egrep" "/bin/egrep: /usr/dict/words: No such
file or directory")
[...]
lookup-words wants a dictionary file, and without the optional
argument it's using /usr/dict/words instead. How can I can a list of
correction using ispell-current-dictionnary?

You can't. lookup-words invokes ispell in a way that cannot use your
usual dictionary. It needs a list of words instead. For the details,
read the man pages of Ispell the program (the `L' command in Ispell).
Just find somewhere a list of French words and put it in
/usr/dict/words; then the command will work.

You can try to customise the group "ispell". You can reach this from the Options menu. It's possible that ispell will use the customised alternate values when it can't find the proper ones.
Alternatively create hard or symbolic links for the files ispell expects!
