Thank you for looking into it.​

I've modified configuration in the following way:​

​  (setq speck-engine 'Hunspell)
  (setq speck-hunspell-program (executable-find "hunspell"))
  (setq speck-hunspell-coding-system 'utf-8)
  (setq speck-hunspell-language-options
        '(("en" utf-8 nil nil nil)))
  (setq speck-hunspell-library-directory
        (expand-file-name "share/hunspell"
                          (file-name-directory
                           (directory-file-name
                            (file-name-directory speck-hunspell-program)))))
  (setq speck-hunspell-default-dictionary-name "en")​

​and the error still remains...​
