Hi All,

I'm having trouble with aspell on a RH5.5 system.

I have a small test file called j54

junk[pavo]rahm: cat j54
oone one two
colour

junk[pavo]rahm: aspell -c j54
Error: No word lists can be found for the language "en_US".

Let's try British spelling:

junk[pavo]rahm: env LANG=en_GB aspell -c j54
Error: No word lists can be found for the language "en_GB".

I find that a lot of the files listed by rpm -qil aspell-en do exist 
on my system.

eg

junk[pavo]rahm: rpm -qil aspell-en | tail -3
/usr/lib/aspell-0.60/english-w_accents.alias
/usr/lib/aspell-0.60/english-wo_accents.alias
/usr/lib/aspell-0.60/english.alias
junk[pavo]rahm: ls -al /usr/lib/aspell-0.60/english-w_accents.alias 
/usr/lib/aspell-0.60/english-wo_accents.alias 
/usr/lib/aspell-0.60/english.alias
ls: /usr/lib/aspell-0.60/english-w_accents.alias: No such file or 
directory
ls: /usr/lib/aspell-0.60/english-wo_accents.alias: No such file or 
directory
ls: /usr/lib/aspell-0.60/english.alias: No such file or directory

The top bit of the rpm -qil listing is:

junk[pavo]rahm: rpm -qil aspell-en | head -15

Is this something I'm doing wrong? It works fine on a SL4.8 system.

Thanks,
