When I try to spell-check in Emacs, I get the following message: > Searching for program: no such file or directory, ispell
Emacs under Fedora Linux uses aspell. Googling, I came up with this: > SUNWaspell and SUNWaspell-en have been obsolete. On Solaris, we now use > Enchant and myspell. And indeed, there are OpenSolaris packages with "Myspell and Hunspell spell dictionary files". But there are no packages that contain the myspell or hunspell program itself. Spell checking works in Firefox. The Wikipedia page for Hunspell states that Firefox (version 3) uses Hunspell. It also states that Emacs supports Hunspell. I've found a thread which indicates that Firefox contains Hunspell internally: http://arc.opensolaris.org/caselog/PSARC/2009/026/mail This thread suggests that a Hunspell package is in the works. Is that the case? And how can I get spell checking under Emacs to work until that package is released? Should I compile Hunspell myself? Finally: Has anyone using OpenSolaris 2009.06 gotten spell checking to work under Emacs, by any means? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
