Text::Aspell is an XS interface to GNU Aspell. The module always has
a large number of cpan-testers failures. They seem to be mostly of two
types. One is:
Aspell.xs:4:20: error: aspell.h: No such file or directory
Yes, aspell needs to be installed.
Second, the module is for spell checking words, so I figured that it
might be good to try and spell check a word in a test. That requires a
specific dictionary so I picked en_US. So the other error I see often
is:
Error: No word lists can be found for the language "en_US".
The README states that the en_US dictionary must be installed, but
that won't help with the automated testing.
I suspect it would be best to detect these problems when Makefile.PL
is run.
Is there a recommend way to detect the header file when running
Makefile.PL?
The dictionary is more of a problem. The aspell binary can dump the
dictionary names, but someone might only have libaspell installed and
not the binary. I'm not aware of any other way to detect the
dictionary other than trying to use it. (I asked on the Aspell list
w/o response.) Any suggestions how to best deal with this situation?
Thanks,
