You will need to: cp /etc/newconfig/hlista /usr/lib/spell cp /etc/newconfig/hlistb /usr/lib/spell cp /etc/newconfig/hstop /usr/lib/spell As I recall, this problem only occurs if you have done an 'install', rather than an 'update' to get to 7.0 -- so, sometimes 7.0 spell will work, sometimes it won't.....
