ispell path problem

ispell path problem

[Peter Lee]

I downloaded ispell for win32 by Piet Tutelaers.  I'm running emacs
21.2.1 and whenever I highlight a region and do "M-x ispell" I get the
following message:

ispell-init-process: Can't open c:/ispell/lib/english.has
Warning: No DPMI-server FPU support

My ispell directory is d:/ispell.  d:/ispell/bin is in my path. I also
created the has file in d:/ispell/lib and confirmed it is there.

I just can't figure out where to set the library path. There is
ispell-library-path but it does not appear to be customizable and is
indeed set to c:/ispell/lib. If I do (setq ispell-library-path
"d:/ispell/lib") it succeeds, but whenever I run ispell i get the same
error. I pretty confused.  Any help would be appreciated.

Oh, I'm using ispell.el version 3.2 by Ken Stevens.

Thanks.

You've got the wrong port of Ispell.  Download another one from here:

 ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs/contrib/ispell.zip

Thanks a lot Eli !  That works... There were an awful lot of ports out
there.  Somewhat confusing.

Judging by this message, it appears you do not have ispell for w32
after all, but ispell for DOS. Perhaps the Cygwin port of ispell 3.2
will work better.
