No word list can be found for the language en

linux

midnight commander

Midnight Commander or mc is perhaps the filemanager I use since my first contact with computer science from late 80’s.

So in Centos you may face above message, although pressing enter you can continue normally, but it’s a bit annoying. The problem comes from a missing package, that is aspell.

So, installing aspell package the message will stop appearing.

yum install aspell-en

I am using GNU Emacs 26.1 on macOS Catalina.

When I try to enable ispell or flycheck-mode I am getting following error:

No word lists can be found for the language "en_US".

=> How could I fix this error?

Package aspell comes with Debian 11, but evidently lacks dictionaries.

    sudo apt-get install aspell-en

Installs the English spelling dictionary for aspell.
