Hi,
[I have also posted this question on the newsgroup alt.os.linux.suse]
I use GNU Emacs and SuSE Linux 8.0. In Emacs, when I do M-x ispell on a LaTeX file containing Norwegian characters, using the British dictionary, Ispell fails with the following error message:
ispell-process-line: Ispell misalignment: word `ørn' point 4613; probably incompatible versions
(You may say that an English document should not contain Norwegian characters, but it can, e.g. in comments.)
I have determined that the problem goes away if I comment out the line
(load "/usr/lib/ispell/ispell-emacs-menu.el" t t)
in site-start.el. However, I do not like this solution, because ispell-emacs-menu.el sets up the Tools | Spell Checking menu to reflect the installed dictionaries.
Does anyone have a better solution?
I think you might be able to fix the problem by editing: /usr/lib/ispell/emacs/english.el and adding the characters in question to the proper character classes as it is done for the Norwegian version of english.el --> this is just a wild guess as I do not have the Norwegian dictionary installed. (If that does not fix it I will install the Norwegian dictionaries and give it a closer look.) Hope this helps.
