I just upgraded to 10.13.2 from 10.12, and concurrently upgraded from 2016 to 2017 distribution. I was trying to follow these instructions from Dick for installing and configuring Aspell:</font></div><div class=""><font face="Optima-Regular" class=""><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class="">a) This year for the first time, we supplied the CocoAspell install package in /Applications/TeX with MacTeX-2017. I found it there and installed with no problems,<br class=""><br class="">b) Then I opened Apple's System Preferences and selected the new Spelling preference pane at the bottom. In the first column, I checked the first entry, English (United States) [w_accents]. On the right side, I checked the URL and TeX/LaTeX filters.<br class=""><br class="">c) Next I ran TeXShop. In TeXShop Preferences, under the Source Tab, in the Dictionary pull down menu, I selected<br class="">English (United States) [w_accents] and clicked OK.<br class=""><br class="">d) Then I restarted TeXShop. One of my documents automatically loaded, and tex command words were not marked as misspelled.</blockquote><br class=""></font></div><div class=""><font face="Optima-Regular" class="">However, when I got to step b) and selected the Spelling preference pane, I received the following error message: *Failed to compile “aspell6-en-6.0-0”* with further details: *The dictionary for “aspell6-en-6.0-0” has to be compiled before it can be used. The dictionary cannot be compiled because you do not have sufficient access priviliges to the directory “/Library/Application Support/cocoAspell/aspell6-en-6.0-0”.* I am doing all of this from an account with administrative privileges on my machine.</font></div><div class=""><font face="Optima-Regular" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class=""><font face="Optima-Regular" class="">Any troubleshooting suggestions will be much appreciated.</font></div><div class=""><font face="Optima-Regular" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class=""><font face="Optima-Regular" class="">— Marina</font></div><img src="https://master.mailbutler.io/tracking/F25AD1B7-5D3A-4233-9837-BFE927F6B273" align="left" width="0" height="0" style="width:0;height:0;border:0;" title="" alt="" id="MailButlerTrackingPixel" class=""><!--Reiciendis quisquam est molestiae magni sint ducimus quasi.--><!--Corrupti delectus facilis iste.--><!--Tempora similique occaecati atque eveniet.--><!--Totam est quod enim quia.--><!--Cupiditate est ad quis nihil quas est recusandae eius soluta atque atque non.--><!--Dolorem voluptate mollitia porro non ut qui numquam.--><!--Porro quisquam est aut dolores aut sed explicabo vel sunt voluptas cum.--><!--Earum in accusantium sed cumque labore alias.--><!--Eum corporis et veritatis consectetur repellat porro et nobis fugit.--><!--Dolore perferendis voluptatem blanditiis nesciunt laudantium qui et voluptas cumque.--><!--Quaerat vero iste recusandae est quo vel eveniet aliquam nihil consectetur.--><!--Ut amet error et aut commodi sint nostrum cumque assumenda enim.--><!--Est sunt quos aut dicta cumque praesentium provident debitis.--><!--Non odit amet possimus rerum earum amet saepe reiciendis et ut architecto.--><!--Rem voluptas accusantium et quis earum et non nobis quod eius nihil laboriosam excepturi necessitatibus.--><!--Quia quibusdam natus sunt ipsa officiis sunt.--><!--Dolorem quo sequi ut.--><!--Occaecati maxime dolorum beatae nam atque praesentium.--><!--Sed architecto facilis ipsam temporibus amet id voluptates rerum et sed quam sit temporibus incidunt.--><!--Non provident perferendis error sed non suscipit eum in omnis.--><!--Nihil doloribus quis iste fugit facilis.--><!--Quasi fugit at rem ut similique vel ut a.--><!--Tenetur aliquid quaerat odit voluptate perferendis rerum sequi enim perspiciatis aut iusto reprehenderit mollitia architecto.--><!--Rerum sunt tenetur placeat nisi fuga veniam non aut voluptatem minus ipsa dolores sit.--><!--Ipsam fugiat assumenda est vel non saepe nostrum et distinctio unde aperiam eveniet in.--></body></html>
