[Aspell-user] Aspell-en-0.51-0 install problem

[Maurice Rickard]

Hello,

I've run into what seems like a strange install problem, but it's possible that 
I'm overlooking something obvious.  I've been able to install both Aspell and 
aspell-en successfully on Mac OS X (on my own machine), but I'm having problems 
doing this on a shared FreeBSD host.  I'd vastly appreciate anyone's insights 
on this.  

As it's a shared host, I don't have access to /usr/local, and I've instead been 
installing in /usr/home/USERNAME.  Two problems result from this: even though 
I've config'ed with this:

./configure --vars ASPELL=/usr/home/USERNAME/lib 
WORD_LIST_COMPRESS=/usr/home/USERNAME/share/aspell 

the Makefile is written with the default /usr/local/lib/aspell and 
/usr/local/share/aspell, and I've had to edit the Makefile manually.  

Once I edit the Makefile, however, I'm getting this error on make: "Error: The 
file "/usr/local/share/aspell/iso8859-1.dat" can not be opened for reading."  
The error, of course, is that the file doesn't exist there--it's at 
/usr/home/USERNAME/share/aspell.

Any hints, tips, or ideas about what I can do to get the Makefile to look at 
the right directory for iso8859-1.dat?

Thanks for taking the time to look at this.

-Maurice
