[Aspell-user] cocoAspell and Emacs

[Till A. Heilmann]

Hi everybody

I use a Carbon enhanced Emacs (GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1  
powerpc-apple-darwin7.4.0) and cocoAspell (Version 1.4.2, 0.33.7.1).

Manual spell checking and flyspell mode work just fine.

The problem is the dictionary: I write my texts in German and can  
change to the according dictionary ("deutsch8") by doing

M-x ispell-change-dictionary

in the mini-buffer alright.

But I can't set "deutsch8" as my default dictionary in the Emacs  
configuration file...

(setq-default ispell-program-name  
"~/Library/PreferencePanes/Spelling.prefPane/Contents/MacOS/ 
cocoAspell")
(setq ispell-library-directory  
"~/Library/PreferencePanes/Spelling.prefPane/Contents/Resources/lib/ 
aspell/")
(require 'ispell)
(ispell-change-dictionary "deutsch8")

... does nothing for me. Emacs defaults to the English dictionary  
everytime I start it.

Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong?

Regards
