Grr.
using the inbsd-syspack emacs19 binary,
M-x ispell-buffer fails, complaining about "/mit/emacs19/bin/ispell.gnu" .
I don't set the variable ispell-program-name in my startup files, so it must
be hardcoded into emacs:
lola-granola% cd /afs/sipb/system/i386_nbsd1/usr/athena/bin
lola-granola% strings emacs | grep ispell-program-name
ispell-program-name
" ["/mit/emacs19/bin/ispell.gnu" ispell-program-name nil] 1)
This is wrong. There should be no dependencies on the emacs19 locker,
particularly not when the directory in question doesn't actually exist.
Also:
lola-granola% strings emacs | grep yoav
/mit/yoav/bin
/mit/yoav/inbsdbin
I'm not sure why this is there. Maybe there's a justification.
Somehow I doubt it. :-)
