Has anyone managed to get personal word lists working in
aspell-0.50.2-1? I've been unable to add words to the word list, and
consequently have been unable to have these custom words recognized
as "good" by Aspell.
I see that installing Aspell *did* result in the creation of
.aspell.en.pws and .aspell.en.prepl files in my home directory (Mac
OS X). I also see that an aspell config dump from the command line
tells me that Aspell expects to find those files there.
These, however, are the problems:
1) When I have Aspell process a file (through a pipe) containing the
words I want to add (each on a separate line preceded by a *), Aspell
*seems* to work, but nothing happens--nothing shows up in the
.aspell.en.pws file, and checking those words with Aspell shows me
that Aspell still thinks they're wrong.
2) Manually editing the .aspell.en.pws file to insert the words puts
them in the file, but Aspell still thinks they're wrong.
3) When I add --personal=/Users/home/.aspell.en.pws to the aspell
command, Aspell appears not to work. While my interface to the pipe
tells me that Aspell found no errors with the test words, it also
finds no errors with anything (for example, "adfdnbasiuif" isn't
flagged as an error).
4) When I create the aspell.conf file (which doesn't seem to have
been created) and point Aspell at the personal word list, it behaves
as above.
So any recommendations for how to make this work? I have a client
who needs to have a working personal word list.
Thanks for any help you can give,
M
