You are making this more complicated than necessary.  Just add 
/usr/home/USERNAME/bin to your path.  The configure script will then find 
the paths automatically.  If you don't want to do that than set the above 
too /usr/home/USERNAME/bin/{aspell,word-list-compress}.  As a third option 
you can use

  ./configure --vars PATH=/usr/home/USERNAME/bin:$PATH
