Just to tell that I could not reproduce the so-called second problem of Emacs ispell.el not finding the place where the dictionaries are. Actually I realized that ispell.el has some code to call « aspell config dict-dir », and I could not reproduce the situation in which I had come to a conclusion that ispell.el was relying only on the output of « aspell -vv », and not that of « aspell config dict-dir », and was not working because « aspell -vv » was not giving the LIBDIR. I suspect that ispell.el tries to find the place where the dictionaries lie only as a fallback when « aspell dicts » does not work (which was the so-called first problem, and was the case with the aspell installed by MSYS2 pacman), and therefore with « aspell dicts » working now properly it is not possible to reproduce this. I tried to re-install aspell with pacman to reproduce the issue, but it was fixed meanwhile. Now MSYS2/pacman « aspell dicts » works fine. So, in a nutshell everything seems to work fine off the shelf. When time allows, I will try to recompile from git repo to get language support. V.
