What were you trying to do?
Run ispell and "lookup" a word. Just run "ispell" and
hit "l" to lookup a word. It'll ask for a lookup string
and you can enter anything (just don't enter * or ?,
which isn't useful in this case).
What's wrong:
Ispell tries to find "look" in /usr/bin/look, whereas it
is installed in /usr/athena/bin/look.
What should have happened:
It should have run /usr/athena/bin/look, and needs to be
recompiled.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
"man look" on the SGIs. Look appears configured correctly
to find the system dictionary in /usr/share/lib/dict/words
already, though I don't know if ispell needs to know the
location for that file.
