[Aspell-user] Can aspell be installed without root access?

[Michael Warmuth]

Hi,

 

I am trying to install aspell on a Linux dedicated server (Linux) but I don't have root access. So I have tried configure with setting the directories to my home directory, but I always get errors when it gets to installing libspell. Below is a typical example:

 

Linux secrets 2.4.22-grsec+w+fhs5+gr1912+ipmi+++p4+c3+gr0b-v6.180 #1 SMP Wed Oct

make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks
