This is probably strictly an Aspell question, not mac ports... I'm a long time ispell user converting to Aspell. I've installed Aspell and its dictionary via mac ports.
(This is also on a new (Black Thursday) Mac-mini with OSX 10.8.2 and OSX Server 2.2) sudo port install aspell sudo port install aspell-dict-en both apparently installed with no errors. to my .emacs file, I've added: (setq-default ispell-program-name "aspell") (setq-default ispell-extra-args '("--reverse")) I ran "aspell-import ( that process complained about /M and similar inclusions in my .ispell_english file, which surprised me.) Now, when I run ispell on my emacs buffer, I get: "Error: /Users/magill/.aspell.en.pws: The word "personal_ws-1.1 en 635 " is invalid. The character '_' (U+5F) may\ not appear in the middle of a word." This is "sort of true" -- that is the header line created by aspell, and is as is documented at aspell.net So the question is: Which is it... an issue with the macports aspell installation or an issue with aspell itself?
