I have been able to install Emacs 25.1 and AUCTeX 11.89.6 (this is the number that I have after installing it with MELPA directly from Emacs) that I am using on a Windows 7 machine. I am trying to use ispell possibly with flyspell but when I type M-x flyspell-mode I get: Error enabling flysepll (Searching for program No such file or directory ispell) I have tryied adding (require 'ispell) (setq ispell-program-name "ispell") and (setq ispell-program-name "tex-ispell") I have read that ispell comes with Emacs 25 and I have found isepll.el in the emacs directory. I have also checked that I have that directory on the Emacs path by C-h v load-path Finally, I have tried to "launch" directly from with emacs in the customization menu but failed. It seems like an easy task but I am not being able to make it work. Any pointer would be great. Thank you.

You probably have to install it on your system. Here's the page: https://lasr.cs.ucla.edu/geoff/ispell.html

If you're on OS X you can just install it with homebrew: brew install ispell

  • Yes. Thanks. Unfortunately, I am on windows 7 at work. Is there any ispell binaries for win 64bits, I have looked but the closest I found was a win32 from here: http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/28326/what-is-the-relationship-between-emacs-and-various-spellcheckers-ispell-etc – AAJ Nov 27 '16 at 14:24
  • unfortunately I'm not a windows user, so I'm not going to be of much help. You might also check whether `aspell` is available for windows. that might be just as good. There's a discussion [here](http://stackoverflow.com/a/2020810/6277148). – mclear Nov 27 '16 at 21:09
