Hi,
I'm having problems getting ispell in xemacs to work. I know that I probably should probably take the time to learn elisp, but right now I'm in a bit of a rush to finish a dissertation, so I'm here asking for assistance.
--------
I have both xemacs and ispell installed.
vesper:~ scott$ dpkg -l | grep ispell
ii ispell 3.2.06-3 Interactive spell-checker
vesper:~ scott$ dpkg -l | grep xemacs
ii xemacs 21.4.15-1 Highly customizable text editor
ii xemacs-base-pk 1.84-1 Basic files needed for xemacs package instal
ii xemacs-efs-pkg 1.32-1 Allows xemacs to fetch files from the FTP si
When I try to run ispell on a region I get the error:
Symbol's function definition if void: ispell-region
----------
I've been trying to edit my .xemacs/init.el file to load the ispell correctly, but am having difficulties. I've added the lines:
(setq ispell-program-name "/sw/bin/ispell")
;;; This defeats the incorrect regexp for skipping TIB entries.
(setq ispell-check-tib t)
(autoload 'ispell-word "/sw/bin/ispell" "Check the spelling of word in buffer." t)
(autoload 'ispell-region "/sw/bin/ispell" "Check the spelling of region." t)
(autoload 'ispell-buffer "/sw/bin/ispell" "Check the spelling of buffer." t)
(global-set-key "\e$" 'ispell-word)
but now when I try running ispell I'm given the error:
Symbol's value as variable is void: (some odd symbols here)
Do I also need to define the character set and language to get ispell to work correctly with xemacs?
----------
Although I want an explanation of how xemacs and helper software work together, I'm at a point that I'd settle for a working init.el file that I can use to edit my LaTeX.
Thank you for your help,
