Emacs - Kieran Healy's Emacs Starter Kit aspell English dictionery
0
I am having some (more) difficulties getting my emacs config to work. I want to use Flyspell automatic spell checking. When I try to enable automatic spell checking (via the menu bar), I get the following error.
Starting new Ispell process aspell with english dictionary...
Error enabling Flyspell mode:
(Error: The file "/usr/local/lib/aspell-0.60/english" can not be opened
for reading.)
A quick look at /usr/local/lib/aspell-0.60/ reveals that I have no English dictionary installed. More fully, here is what is installed:

Looks like you have a broken install of aspell. Assuming you used Homebrew to install it, just uninstall it, and reinstall it.
$ brew uninstall aspell
$ brew update
$ brew install aspell
If you're still having trouble, maybe comment out
(starter-kit-load "starter-kit-aspell.org")
from starter-kit.org so it looks like
;;(starter-kit-load "starter-kit-aspell.org")
This will prevent the starter-kit from loading its flycheck/aspell settings allowing you to use the defaults. You will have to manually enable flyspell on a buffer where you want to use it. Meta-x flyspell-mode will do the trick.

Thanks. I updated aspell, as you suggest. Now when I try to enable Flyspell I get a new error:Starting new Ispell process aspell with english dictionary... Error enabling Flyspell mode: (Searching for program No such file or directory aspell). When I typewhich aspellinto Terminal, I get no return, except the command prompt. Incidentally, in the process of trying to get aspell to work I deleted the following files:/usr/local/include/pspell/pspell.h,/usr/local/bin/precat',/usr/local/bin/aspell-import`. I thought they would be re-written on re-installing aspell.

The/usr/local/bin/aspellI referenced is an executable, part of theaspellpackage, and not a directory. It sounds likeaspellhas not been installed correctly. Do not "uninstall" something by just deleting files, but via your package manager's facilities, iebrew uninstallin the case of Homebrew.

Thanks. I updated aspell, as you suggest. Now when I try to enable Flyspell I get a new error:
Starting new Ispell process aspell with english dictionary... Error enabling Flyspell mode: (Searching for program No such file or directory aspell). When I type which aspell into Terminal, I get no return, except the command prompt. Incidentally, in the process of trying to get aspell to work I deleted the following files: /usr/local/include/pspell/pspell.h, /usr/local/bin/precat', /usr/local/bin/aspell-import`. I thought they would be re-written on re-installing aspell.– user1519289

Well,
which says it's not in your path. If you're using Homebrew, aspell should be at /usr/local/bin/aspell, and /usr/local/bin is in your PATH by default on macOS.– nega

What to do about that? If I
echo $PATH it returns /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/TeX/texbin:/opt/X11/bin. If I open Terminal and cd to usr/local/bin/ there is no aspell directory. There is an aspell at usr/local/include.– user1519289

The
/usr/local/bin/aspell I referenced is an executable, part of the aspell package, and not a directory. It sounds like aspell has not been installed correctly. Do not "uninstall" something by just deleting files, but via your package manager's facilities, ie brew uninstall in the case of Homebrew.– nega
