^^^^^^^^^^^
try
...--vars ASPELL=/usr/local/bin/aspell
WORD_LIST_COMPRESS=/usr/local/bin/word-list-compress

the variables are not only the path to the command (/usr/local/bin), but the
complete command including path (/usr/local/bin/aspell)

Do not forget the leading slash (*/*usr).

As a general advice, compile everything as normal user, and only at the stage of
"make install" switch to root.
