Subject: ispell in Debian lenny problem
Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2009 13:24:08 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <h8g0cp$9ec$1@news.eternal-september.org> (raw)

Hi,

I am using in SUSE Linux the following in my .emacs, and it works:

      (setq ispell-dictionary "german")
      (setq ispell-local-dictionary "german")
      (setq flyspell-default-dictionary "german")

In Debian Lenny the dictionary is called ngerman and I use the same as above, 
only with "ngerman" instead of german. The problem now is, that spell checking 
wont work on emacs in lenny. When doing "ispell-buffer" I get the error (in 
*Messages*):

Starting new Ispell process [ngerman] ...
Spell-checking test using ispell with ngerman dictionary...
Spell-checking test using ispell with ngerman dictionary done
ispell-get-line: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

No spell chacking takes place :-(
What is wrong?

Greetings,
Christian
