hi everybody,

I did'nt use 'aspell' for a while (which worked fine the last time I did). Now, if I use something like

aspell -c myfile.txt

the interactive aspell screen is correctly initialized and aspell jumps to the first offending word demanding user input (ignore/accept etc.).

the problem: no keyboard input is accepted. the whole thing hangs.

I ktraced the program start. the bottom line (in both senses) is:

21375 aspell   CALL  poll(0xbfffe968,0x1,0x64)
21375 aspell   RET   poll 1

which repeats itself until infinity (more or less...). so I think aspell is running fine, waiting for user input, but for some reason the keystrokes are not reaching aspell anymore.

I uninstalled aspell and reinstalled from source but to no avail.

question: is this actually, for instance, an ncurses problem or what is going on? and the usual question: what can I do?


thank's for responding:

You did not tell on which system you install it: version of Mac OS X, version of fink, which tree: binary, stable, unstable

no, I did'nt, sorry (realized this only after I'd sent it):

MacOS 10.4.5.
Package manager version: 0.24.12
Distribution version: 0.8.0.rsync
I use unstable (but aspell is from the stable branch anyway).

same problem on G5 and on powerbook

Which dictionary you use too?
default (us-english, I believe?), english, german. none of these work

And does moving temporarily ~/.aspell.xx.prepl makes it work? (where xx is the two-letter language identification)

this has no effect.

the whole thing is really strange. ispell still works fine interactively, for instance. whereas "aspell -c myfile.txt" starts up and hangs using near 100% CPU time due to the industrious polling...

are there some not-so-obvious libraries which I should try reinstalling?
Cheers,
Michèle
