I think so, too. Calling without ispell-extra-arg is doubtful. Has anyone feedbacked this issue to the ispell maintainer or the emacs-devel list? If not, I'll write an email later.

It's also possible to set aspell-options via environment variables. Try one of the below two.


;; relocatable path (for Carbon Emacs Package)
(setenv "ASPELL_CONF"
    (concat "prefix " carbon-emacs-package-prefix ";"
        "data-dir " carbon-emacs-package-prefix "/lib/aspell-0.60;"
        "dict-dir " carbon-emacs-package-prefix "/lib/aspell-0.60;"
        "conf-dir " carbon-emacs-package-prefix "/etc"
    ))

;; explicit path
(setenv "ASPELL_CONF"
    (concat "prefix /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources;"
        "data-dir /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lib/aspell-0.60;"
        "dict-dir /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lib/aspell-0.60;"
        "conf-dir /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/etc"))


It seems that the aspell file (carbon-emacs-builtin-aspell.el) in the September release needs to be replaced.

What is "german8"? Is it better german dictionary?
