Re: Keep getting "can't open /usr/local/lib/english.hash" for ispell

[p98710]

I tried the suggestion below using the ispell-change-dictionary

M-x ispell-change-dictionary
          C:\usr\local\lib\english.hash  -----> [no match}

I can see the hash file and open the hash with emacs at
C:\usr\local\lib

any other suggestions?
