Did you actually use "/usr/local/bin/PREZIP" instead of "/usr/local/bin/prezip"?
There is a difference, and it may not be able to find it because of that.

Try this configure line:
./configure --vars ASPELL=/usr/local/bin/aspell
PREZIP=/usr/local/bin/prezip PREZIP_BIN=/usr/local/bin/prezip-bin

have something to say to me and me only).
