I configured like this:

./configure --enable-hfst --with-dictionary-path="~/Library/Spelling/voikko:/Library/Spelling/voikko:/usr/local/lib/voikko”

and the paths actually found seems to be:

/Library/Spelling/voikko
/usr/local/lib/voikko
~/.voikko

That is, the following is found although not specified:

~/.voikko

And the following is not found even though it is specified:

~/Library/Spelling/voikko

Then I tried a permutation:

./configure --enable-hfst --with-dictionary-path="/Library/Spelling/voikko:~/Library/Spelling/voikko:/usr/local/lib/voikko”

i.e. with ~/Library/… as the second path in the list instead of first, to see whether there are issues with the first position in it. Result: identical. That seems to point to issues with the path ~/Library/Spelling/voikko - perhaps with the ~ character?

Another question: what is the search order of the listed dirs? Which dir will take precedence if a speller file for one language is found in multiple locations?
