Spell: Vim didn't search automatically for a spell file in my language
pqs
I recently installed gvim on a fresh install of Ubuntu Hardy (v
7.1.138).
I opened a LaTeX file and wanted to spell check it.
:set spelllang=fr
:set spell
The output of the command was
Warning: Cannot find word list.
I was specting gvim to look for the file and install it. That's what
happened to me on other systems.
Is there a way to ask vim to look for this files or I should do this
automatically?
Thanks.

Hello pqs,
I had the same problem here on my Debian Sid, but with the german spell
files. You must download the files by your own from the net and put it
in ~/.vim/spell. Look at vim.org where the files are located, because I
don't remember where I got them.

Have you got the French spell files, as follows?
$VIMRUNTIME/spell/fr.latin1.spl
$VIMRUNTIME/spell/fr.latin1.sug
$VIMRUNTIME/spell/fr.utf-8.spl
$VIMRUNTIME/spell/fr.utf-8.sug
Depending on how you installed Vim (which depends on which OS you are
on, and on whether you installed a pre-compiled version or compiled it
yourself, with which Makefile) you may have to find out how to get them.
Best regards,
Tony.

:runtime plugin/spellfile.vim
:setlocal spell spelllang=fr
See,
:help spellfile.vim
Note: If that doesn't work, then you may need to unlet the
"loaded_spellfile_plugin" variable.
Setting this var it's a convenient way to not let one plugin to load
at the startup time (because you may don't need it to run), I know I do,
maybe your distribution is doing the same as well.

The spellfile.vim plugin (usually in $VIMRUNTIME/autoload/spellfile.vim)
handles automatic downloading of spell files, and it seems it is
disabled/not installed/not working on your system. You will need to
either install the plugin or download the spell files yourself.
:help spellfile.vim
Ben.

~/.vim/spell folder from another computer.
Thanks for all your comments.

Just in case anyone else find this message with the exact same problem
like me, I found here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/+bug/183935/+viewstatus
that the problem is the spellfile.vim plugin needs a writeable spell
directory to work.
I did:
$ mkdir -p ~/.vim/spell
and all worked like a charm.
Enjoy!
