[Aspell-user] Compiling Aspell w/ Custom DIRS

[J/]

Question:   How do I make aspell set its default directories to what I
specify in configure, because I don't even have permission to the
default directory it's looking to for its config files after install.


Info:

I have aspell installing just fine in a custom directory.

My configure line is:

 ./configure --prefix=/usr/home/maztec/USER/local
--exec-prefix=/usr/home/maztec/USER/bin
--enable-dict-dir=/usr/home/USER/aspell/lib/aspell
--enable-docdir=/usr/home/USER/aspell/share/doc
--enable-pkgdatadir=/usr/home/USER/aspell/share/aspell

I also tried it with:

 ./configure --prefix=/usr/home/maztec/USER
--exec-prefix=/usr/home/maztec/USER/bin

Aspell configures correctly and installs correctly.  But when I try to
check a file I get:

5% aspell check test.txt
Error: No word lists can be found for the language "en_US".

When I look at my aspell configuration dump it shows my default
directories as:

# conf descrip: main configuration file
# conf default: aspell.conf
# conf current: aspell.conf


# conf-dir descrip: location of main configuration file
# conf-dir default: <prefix:etc>
# conf-dir current: /usr/local/etc


# data-dir descrip: location of language data files
# data-dir default: <prefix:share/aspell>
# data-dir current: /usr/local/share/aspell


# dict-dir descrip: location of the main word list
# dict-dir default: <prefix:lib/aspell>
# dict-dir current: /usr/local/lib/aspell


--- is there any way I can set the DEFAULT directories (-- I don't have
access to the default directory for the config file either! --) so that
aspell uses what I configured it with rather than defaulting to the
above?

Thanks,

J/
