Yes, I had problems ...
I have unpacked the distribution, then used the commands:

gzip -dc aspell-.29.1pre1.tar.gz | tar xof -
cd aspell-.29.1pre1
./configure alphaev56-dec-osf4.0d --prefix=/opt/gnu --with-gcc
make

The compiler is gcc-2.95.2 .  I had undefined symbols in aspell.o,
I have added the line you suggested, as in:
...
#include "string_map.hh"

using namespace autil;
using namespace aspell;

template crope

// action functions declarations

void pipe();
...

$ make
...
Making all in src
