Hi Michael,
Why are you using such an early version? I had issues with that
aspect of aspell some time ago. I thought they were resolved. You
can see what I did in this project:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/descdatadiary/
It is a windows project. It does not try to do a Unix install,
but you may find what I did in speller_impl.cpp interesting.

Best regards,
Gary
