echo "foo" | aspell -a --encoding=utf-8 --lang=fi

Hmmm, something fishy is going on here.  It works on my desktop (SunOS
5.9/Solaris 9 i86pc/i386), but not on our server (SunOS 5.8/Solaris 8
sun4u/sparc).

The working version is linked against a different set of libraries:

        libaspell.so.15 =>       /opt/csw/lib/libaspell.so.15
        libcurses.so.1 =>        /usr/lib/libcurses.so.1
        libdl.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
        libCstd.so.1 =>  /usr/lib/libCstd.so.1
        libCrun.so.1 =>  /usr/lib/libCrun.so.1
        libm.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libm.so.1
        libintl.so.3 =>  /opt/csw/lib/libintl.so.3
        libc.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libc.so.1
        libiconv.so.2 =>         /opt/csw/lib/libiconv.so.2
        libw.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libw.so.1

than the non-working version:

        libaspell.so.15 =>       /opt/sfw/lib/libaspell.so.15
        libncurses.so.5 =>       /opt/sfw/lib/libncurses.so.5
        libdl.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
        libstdc++.so.2.10.0 =>   /opt/sfw/lib/libstdc++.so.2.10.0
        libm.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libm.so.1
        libc.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libc.so.1
        /usr/platform/SUNW,Ultra-60/lib/libc_psr.so.1

All the dictionary files except fi.rws on both systems are the same:

-rw-r--r--   1 root     other         82 Apr 15 18:25 fi.dat
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other         70 Apr 15 18:25 fi.multi
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other    1734864 Apr 15 18:25 fi.rws
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other    1014495 Apr 15 18:25 fi_affix.dat
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other         72 Apr 15 18:25 finnish.alias

fi.rws is the same size but has numerous differences across the
different machines, so I tried copying it from the working platform to
my home directory on the non-working platform.  But running it there
with --dict-dir=$HOME just resulted in this error, which probably
explains why they're different:

        Error: The file "/home/kevinr/fi.rws" is not in the proper format. 
Wrong endian order.

By the way, the "echo | aspell" command also fails for Russian
(--lang=ru) but works fine for Danish (da), German (de), English (en),
Spanish (es), French (fr), Italian (it), Norwegian (no), Portuguese
(pt), and Swedish (sv).

I meant, is iso8859-1 (no hyphen) valid and equivalent to iso-8859-1?
And what about koi8-r?
