aspell and emacs

[Spencer Marks]

 I am lousy speller and tired of ispell not being able second
 guessme. So, when I found out about aspell (from www.freshmeat.net) I
 decided to give it a try.
 
Anyway, I compiled and installed it. However, after following the in
the install notes I still can't it to replace ispell.
 
Actually I did was add this line to my .emacs file (as well as making
sure that any of my custom setting where overriding it.)

;; try out aspell instead of ispell
(setq-default ispell-program-name "aspell")


Note: I can type aspell from a prompt and it runs.
 
I also tried putting aspell next to ispell in /usr/bin/
 
That didnt' work so I put it back in /usr/local/bin/ which is
obviously where I wanted it anyway.

Thanks spencer
