I noticed a TeXmacs user group post starting November 28, 2005 where there was an unresolved problem that ispell doesn't work on an AMD 64-bit platform with TeXmacs. I am having what appears to be this same issue.

I am using TeXmacs 1.0.6 (the rpm provided by Fedora), international aspell 3.1.20, in Fedora Core 4 x86_64 on a dual core AMD.

Is there any fix or idea on what is wrong here? I am using aspell with a symlink to ispell, but I get the same errors described for just using ispell.

briefly, when I start the spell checker, it always selects the first word and asks me just to accept, replace or insert. If I say accept I get a "ispell does not respond" error message in TeXmacs. The output at the command prompt is nothing more than the initial

TeXmacs] Launching 'ispell -a -d english'

This is silly that I have to open the document on an older Linux box to do spell checking...
