This is a very unusual place to install aspell -- you'd probably have more
luck installing aspell through your distribution's packaging system which
would place it in a more normal location.

That said, your problem is that aspell doesn't know where to find its
library file. To fix this, add "/usr/local/bin/aspell/lib/" to
"/etc/ld.so.conf" (the syntax of that file is pretty self-explanatory) and
then run "ldconfig". You'll need to do this as root.

However, even after fixing this problem you may encounter other troubles
caused by installing aspell into such a wierd place. Better to just delete
it and re-install it via your package manager.
