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
Are those the ones in Fink? I ask because there are two versions of
dictionaries on the upstream site and I'm not sure how the new ones
work, though they are stated as compatible, but I've never tested them.
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?
If you use rsync from Apple, it is better to either switch to rsync in
Fink or to use cvs, see the news on the fink web site.
Then after you decide the way to go, you could probably first
selfupdate, then fink update-all.
Thereafter if none of the libraries involved in aspell have been rebuilt
during the fink update-all process, you could try to rebuild ncurses,
libncurses5-shlibs, and then aspell.
Another thing you could try is to remove temporarily ispell, and see if
that solves the problem. Oh, check also that you have not aspell-compat
installed, it should not be there since it conflicts with ispell, but
who knows.
Cheers,
Michèle

hi,
me again. meanwhile I've gone through a (lengthy...) complete fink
update-all (which, I confess, I usually avoid, using binary install
where possible). except from two problems (vnc4, clisp-maxima),
_everything now is completely up-to-date. the reported problem still
persists: the full screen mode
(aspell check my_file) does not work, i.e. system cpu time goes up to
100% and ktrace shows an infinite loop
...
6610 aspell CALL poll(0xbfffe9c8,0x1,0x64)
6610 aspell RET poll 1
6610 aspell CALL poll(0xbfffe9c8,0x1,0x64)
6610 aspell RET poll 1
6610 aspell CALL poll(0xbfffe9c8,0x1,0x64)
6610 aspell RET poll 1
...
(whatever this really means)
whereas aspell seems OK in non-interactive mode (cat my_file | aspell -l).
aspell-combat is archived (the deb package is there), but not installed.
I installed aspell again from the DarwinPorts site (which has, by the
way, a newer version 0.60.2): this one runs as it should (of course,
DarwinPorts uses it's own installation of all the libs involved...).
so, any more ideas? can one dare to notify the maintainer?
greetings,
joerg
