[Aspell-user] Dictionary creation

[Peter Hellman]

Sice the the never aspell version came out, I cannot use my swedish 
dictionary anymore.
The install works, but I cannot use it.
So, I downloaded the master word file, and stripped out the words:
cat sv.source | perl -e 'while(<>){ if ($_=~/^WORD: (\w+)$/){print $1 . 
" ";}}' > sv_ord
Accoring to the docs :

   aspell --lang=«lang» create master ./«base» < «wordlist

   The wordlist being a list of white space separated word.
   This translates to :
   aspell --lang=se create master ./se < sv_ord for me.
   This in turn produces :
   Error: The language "" is not known. This is probably becuase the
   file "/usr/share/aspell/se.dat" can not be opened for reading.

   trace :
   open("/usr/share/aspell/se.dat", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
   or directory)


   I completley agree, the file can not be opened. That's why I am
   trying to create it.
   What am I doing wrong ? I desperatley need to have aspell. My .tex
   is littered with stuff that
   makes the "finding windows box,  word and spell checking" extremley
   tideous (sp?),
   not to mentioning the emotional stress of having to use word in the
   first place.

   Thank you and have a nice day
