13.2.6 Installing Ispell

13.2.6 Installing Ispell

As mentioned in Chapter 3, Emacs uses Ispell for its spell-checking functionality. However, despite voluminous hooks to it, the Ispell executable is not part of Emacs and is not installed by default on Mac OS X. You must therefore install Ispell to get spell-checking to work properly.

We took the easy path to doing this: downloading and installing Fink (see http://fink.sourceforge.net for instructions). Fink is an all-purpose Mac OS X installer that enables you to install Unix software on your Mac easily.

After installing Fink, installing Ispell was completely painless:

% fink install ispell

Just one further step is required so that Emacs finds Ispell without tweaking. Create a symbolic link between the location where Fink installs Ispell (/sw/bin/ispell) and where Emacs expects Ispell to be (/usr/bin/ispell).[93]

% sudo ln -s /sw/bin/ispell /usr/bin/ispell

Voil?. Emacs spell-checking with Ispell now works as described in Chapter 3.
