RE: [Aspell-user] MAKE NOT WORKING

Melvin ...

I am logged on as root when I am trying compiling the aspell dictionary... 

I kinda understand what you said below but am not 100% sure how to
change/implement what you are suggesting ... 

Basically I installed aspell-0.50.3 successfull it just seems like the
dictionary won't do what it should ... it's very weird :) 

In the configure program for the dictionary is there a way to force it to
look at aspell ?

I have tried :

./configure --vars ASPELL=usr/local/bin/ WORD_LIST_COMPRESS=usr/local/bin/

also in the aspell-en-0.51-0 README file it says :
If any of the above mentioned programs are not in your path than the
variables, ASPELL and/or WORD_LIST_COMPRESS need to be set to the
commands (with path) to run the utilities.  These variables may be set
in the environment before configure is run or specified at the command
line using the following syntax
  ./configure --vars VAR1=VAL1 ...
Other useful variables configure recognizes are ASPELL_PARMS, and DESTDIR.

how do I go about doing this ?

Regards
Gareth

That shows that aspell is not in your PATH environment variable (no
/usr/local/bin in the above list).

Maybe are you trying to compile aspell/aspell's dictionary as root? In
my
system, root account does not have /usr/local/bin in its $PATH for
security
reasons (I need to "source/etc/profile" to do this, but that depends on
your
system).
