I'm running cygwin 1.7 on windows 7 and seeing aspell crash every time
I try
to run it. The message I get from the shell is:
$ aspell check foo.txt
.cset" could not be opened for reading or does not
exist.lib/aspell-0.60/
Aborted (core dumped)
while from within emacs:
Starting new Ispell process [default] ...
ispell-init-process: 50 [sig] aspell 4332 open_stackdumpfile:
Dumping
stack trace to aspell.exe.stackdump
Unhandled Error: The encoding "
" is not known. This could also mean that the file
"/usr/lib/aspell-0.60/
.cset" could not be opened for reading or does not exist.
(the line breaks appear as ^M control characters in emacs).
Given the message, I was suspicious that this is a locale issue, and
set the
(previously unset) environment variables LANG, LC_CTYPE, and LC_ALL to
en_US.UTF-8 (or en_US.ISO-8859-1) but that didn't make a noticeable
difference.
FWIW, just executing 'aspell --help' works as expected.
Does this ring any bells?
Looks like foo.txt has Windows line endings; try running 'd2u foo.txt'
and then aspell again.
Thanks, but after changing to unix line endings I see the same behavior.
Same for checking the empty file.
Also, /usr/lib/aspell-0.60/ is actually populated with what seem to be the
correct files, and I have reinstalled the aspell package.
Cheers, Josh
