I forced pspell to uninstall (there was no pspell-devel installed)

# rpm -e --nodeps pspell

and did a make clean and ./configure in gtkspell.  Now I get this error:

grep: /usr/lib/libpspell.la: No such file or directory
/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libpspell.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libpspell.la' is not a valid libtool archive

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jgbiggs/gtkspell-2.0.4'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2



This is becoming a nightmare.  Now it seems that aspell 0.33.x was after
all installed.  So why is gtkspell complaining about it not being
installed when I configured it to install to /usr/local? (I have both
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig and /usr/lib/pkgconfig as the environment
variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH.)  Could it be that the RedHat 9.0 rpms do not
install the *.pc files?  All I want is gtkspell installed in
/usr/local!  I don't think it is too much to ask.

Thanks for all your help and patience.
