Try linking the <library>.so.<n> files to <library>.so in /usr/lib, this
is normally done by the -devel version of a package, you might see if
pspell-devel is installed and try that.

It's a pain, it's also to do with the order that things are declared in
the Makefiles I think, there are similar fun and games with
sylpheed-claws cvs versions and there is no simple resolution there
either.
