Hi, Kevin, This has been reported in Debian as happening when 'data-dir' and 'lib-dir' do not match https://bugs.debian.org/612051 The temporary workaround at that time was to make them match again. Looking at https://bugs.debian.org/667592 [libaspell15: please add multiarch support] I was playing with some things there, and found this problem when 'data-dir' and 'lib-dir' are set to diferent values. I have straced the failing aspell call and seems I know what is happening. The relevant parts are, when checking a tex file, ... open("/usr/lib/aspell/tex.amf", O_RDONLY) = 5 ... access("/usr/lib/aspell/tex-filter.info", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) write(2, "Error: The filter \"tex\" does not"..., 40Error: The filter "tex" does not exist. With 'lib-dir=/usr/lib/aspell' and 'data-dir=/usr/share/aspell', aspell installs ".amf" files under /usr/lib/aspell, but installs "*-filter.info" under /usr/share/aspell, making aspell fail when looks for tex-filter.info under /usr/lib/aspell. I have been playing with patch below which, once propagated to the autotools buildchain, tries to install all filter related things under 'lib-dir'. This seems to make aspell work again in such cases. Regards, -- Agustin
