* When you run Ispell from Emacs, it reports a "misalignment" error.
This can happen if you compiled Ispell to use ASCII characters only
and then try to use it from Emacs with non-ASCII characters,
specifically Latin-1. The solution is to recompile Ispell with
Latin-1 support.
This can happen if you compiled the Ispell program to use ASCII
characters only and then try to use it from Emacs with non-ASCII
characters, like Latin-1. The solution is to recompile Ispell with
support for 8-bit characters.
This can also happen if the version of Ispell installed on your
machine is old.
To see whether your Ispell program supports 8-bit characters, type
this at your shell's prompt:
ispell -vv
and look in the output for the string "NO8BIT". If Ispell says
"!NO8BIT (8BIT)", your speller supports 8-bit characters; otherwise it
does not.
To rebuild Ispell with 8-bit character support, edit the local.h file
in the Ispell distribution and make sure it does _not_ define NO8BIT.
Then rebuild the speller.
Another possible cause for "misalignment" error messages is that the
version of Ispell installed on your machine is old. Upgrade.
Yet another possibility is that you are trying to spell-check a word
in a language that doesn't fit the dictionary you choose for use by
Ispell. (Ispell can only spell-check one language at a time, because
it uses a single dictionary.) Make sure that the text you are
spelling and the dictionary used by Ispell conform to each other.
* On Linux-based GNU systems using libc versions 5.4.19 through
5.4.22, Emacs crashes at startup with a segmentation fault.
