Ispell in Portuguese Don't put anything here Don't put anything here Don't put anything here Page Content Page Name (for URL) Don't put anything here Page Title Breadcrumb Text I finally got ispell spell-checking Portuguese for me. This only took a few hours and involved: * Finding Portuguese dictionaries (easy) * Figuring out that I need to run "buildhash" on it which I didn't have. * Trying to use buildhash on a different machine and move the files over - bad idea. * Finding ispell source and trying to compile it in order to get "buildhash," discovering that it requires [Yacc](http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yacc), which I didn't have. * Failing to find yacc for fedora but installing [bison](http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/bison.html) instead. * Compiling ispell in a semi-manual way using bison instead of yacc. * Discovering that ispell doesn't work with [utf-8](http://www.utf-8.com/). Converting my file from utf-8 to latin-1 with iconv. (This involved looking up the proper code for latin-1 - "iso-8859-1." The geek in me is ashamed to admit that I don't remember "iso-8859-1" by heart.) Then discovering that gnome-terminal doesn't want to display iso-8859-1 files properly. So, I then started from scratch, trying to install Portuguese dictionaries for *aspell* instead. This failed miserably. After some more time I realized that gnome-terminal might be smart enough to switch between multiple encodings, which turned out to be the case. So, I could finally run ispell. However, it kept exiting immediately. It took a bit of experimenting to realize that this was because the file simply didn't have any spelling errors. So, now, it's all working. Ah, what wouldn't a man do for the joy of being able to spell-check from the command line? Advanced Fields Category 2002200320042005200620072008200920102011201220132014E. AsiaE.
