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
