RE: [Aspell-user] problem finding word list with pspell/aspell

[Stephen Simmons]

hellllpppp! does anybody know what's going on here? the php docs (and
everything else that i've read) specifically say that in order to use aspell
spell checking functionality from php scripts, both aspell and pspell must
be compiled and loaded. after struggling with the unfortunate and absolute
lack of clear documentation on how to do this, i finally successfully built
a mod_php4.so (--with-pspell) and loaded it into apache.

now i'm told that pspell is "no longer used with aspell 0.50. that may be
your problem" huh? the php docs say that *aspell* is deprecated. is that my
problem or not? should i go back to a previous version of aspell? will
"--with-pspell" still work when i configure php if the pspell libs don't
exist? should i just give up on trying to get this to work in php? are there
any plans for aspell to be usable from within php? does anybody care what
happens with this code?

from the scarcity of info on the net, it looks like there's a pretty small
community of users of this software, and it's painfully clear that kevin
atkinson doesn't feel like maintaining this code anymore (he's said this
himself) - so, any insight on this that anyone can provide would be greatly
appreciated. i've already pulled all of my hair out.

all i suspect i really need (see original post) is a way to let pspell know
how/where to find the word lists. does anyone know how to do this? where is
it looking?

thanks,

stephen

Pspell in no longer used with Aspell 0.50.  That may be your problem.
Aspell 0.50 included Pspell compatibility libraries.
