redirecting the output of aspell
Hi,
I have 2 identical servers both running aspell but for some reason I can't redirect the output to a file on one of them. This is what I'm trying to do:
echo feck | aspell -l > errors.txt
On one machine this works fine but the other it doesn't (the file is created but it is empty). However if I just type:
echo feck | aspell -l
it correctly displays the word feck as being misspelt. I've done an strace and the machine that works shows this at the end:
fstat64(1, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40018000
munmap(0x4033c000, 4046848) = 0
munmap(0x40718000, 159744) = 0
munmap(0x4001b000, 12288) = 0
write(1, "feck\n", 5) = 5
_exit(0) = ?
the machine that doesn't works shows this:
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40019000
munmap(0x4033b000, 4046848) = 0
munmap(0x40717000, 159744) = 0
_exit(0) = ?
If I leave off the >errors.txt is does this:
fstat64(1, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0620, st_rdev=makedev(136, 1), ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40019000
write(1, "feck\n", 5feck
) = 5
munmap(0x4033b000, 4046848) = 0
munmap(0x40717000, 159744) = 0
_exit(0) = ?
Finally I've tried these:
$ echo feck >errors.out
works
$ echo feck | aspell -l | cat
fails
Can someone please help as I've now spent a day and a half on this?
Thanks,
Lee
P.S. Incase they're needed, here are the versions I'm using:
aspell -v
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell .33.7 alpha)
cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux Advanced Server release 2.1AS (Pensacola)

word-list-compress
WORD-LIST-COMPRESS(1) Aspell Abbreviated User's Manual WORD-LIST-COMPRESS(1)
NAME
word-list-compress - word list compressor/decompressor for GNU Aspell
SYNOPSIS
word-list-compress c[ompress] | d[ecompress]
DESCRIPTION
word-list-compress compresses or decompresses sorted word lists for use with the GNU Aspell spell checker.
COMMANDS
-c, c, compress
compress the plain text word list read from standard input.
-d, d, decompress
decompress the compressed word list read from standard input.
EXAMPLES
Here are a few examples of how you can use word-list-compress
word-list-compress d <wordlist.cwl >wordlist.txt
Decompress file wordlist.cwl to text file wordlist.txt
word-list-compress c <wordlist.wl >wordlist.cwl 2>errors.txt
Compress wordlist.wl to wordlist.cwl and send any error messages to a text file named errors.txt
LC_COLLATE=C sort -u <wordlist.txt | word-list-compress c >wordlist.cwl
Sort a word list, then pipe it to word-list-compress to create a compressed binary wordlist.cwl file.
word-list-compress d <words.cwl | aspell create master ./words.rws
Decompress a wordlist, then pipe it to aspell(1) to create a spelling list. Please check the aspell(1) info manual for proper usage
and options.
TIPS
Word-list-compress is best used with sorted word list type files. It is not a general purpose compression program since the resulting
files may actually increase in size.
Word-list-compress accepts up to 255 text characters in the range of {0x21...0xFF}. If your word list requires a larger character set for
certain languages or longer length for multi-word, scientific, medical, technical or other use, then it is recommended that you compress
your word list using prezip-bin(1)
DIAGNOSTICS
Word-list-compress normally exits with a return code of 0. If it encounters an error, a message is sent to standard error output (stderr),
and word-list-compress exits with a non-zero return value. Error messages are listed below:
(display help/usage message)
Unknown command given on the command line so word-list-compress displays a usage message to standard error output.
Corrupt Input
This is only for the decompression command d. The input file is of an unknown format or the input file/stream is corrupted. You
may have some valid output, but word-list-compress could not complete the process. If the input file is a compressed wordlist but
you have no output file, then it may be a newer prezip-bin(1) version of compressed file, if so, try decompressing the file with
prezip-bin(1) instead.
Output Data Error
The output is full, write protected, or has an error and can no longer be written to.
