app-text/aspell-0.50.5-r2 (used with app-dicts/aspell-en-0.51.1) is unable to spell the following (silly) text: ========================= teste.txt ================================ this is an english text ========================= teste.txt ================================ aspell complains about every single word: $ echo $LANG en $ aspell check teste.txt For example aspell does not recognize the first word "this" and offers the alternatives: 1) Als 2) Jes 3) AIDS 4) Joes 5) AI 6) ANSI 7) A's 8) ABS Reproducible: 100% Maybe I am doing something silly, but the same text checks ok on my FreeBSD box. One more remark: Also tried german texts, same result, complains about every single word.
It works for me, with the same versions of aspell and the English dictionary. Only correction is 'english', which is spelled incorrectly ... I've seen reports of "word-list-compress" (part of the install process) not working properly. Could you post the output of 'ls -l /usr/lib/aspell/' to verify that the dictionaries were installed correctly.
Ok, this the output of ls -l /usr/lib/aspell/:-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 75 16. Jun 23:04 american.alias-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 85 16. Jun 23:04 american-w-accents.alias-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 75 16.

Since I live in Belgium, I installed the dictionaries for english, german and french.Andreas
Yuck! No line breaks! :-) OK, after aligning it again, I notice that all your .rws files (the one that should be compressed wordlists) are exactly 20 kb in size. That's *obviously* wrong! Try cleaning off both all the dictionaries and aspell itself. Something is obviously broken. I just tried emerging it all again on my system, and I still see no problems.
Ok, with the very latest aspell ebuild the .rws files get generated correctly. The previous ebuild of aspell seems to be broken in this respect. Fixed. Thank you for the hint. Andreas
