I’m having trouble with raspell after upgrading to Snow Leopard. When I start up the console in one of my apps that uses raspell I receive the following error message: Loading development environment (Rails 2.1.0) dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: \_new\_aspell\_config Referenced from: /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/raspell-1.1/lib/raspell.bundle Expected in: flat namespace Trace/BPT trap I tried reinstalling the gem using the arch flags as I did with my other gems but it doesn’t seem to help. I checked to make sure I have the required version of aspell, which I do: 0.60.6. Has anyone else encountered this problem or can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this? Thanks in advance, Jason ---

Did you reinstall aspell too (ie do the architectures of ruby, raspell & aspell all match) ? Fred
