I have tried for several days to install and use aspell. I easily installed
on my development computer which is Windows XP.

I am trying to get it to run on a linux box now and am getting to the point
to tell the client, it just can't be done.

It seems I am almost there but can't get it all the way.

For my latest test of the pre-compiled version I found contains three
cirectories:
/bin/
/lib/
/share/

I have those to:
/usr/local/bin/aspell/bin/
/usr/local/bin/aspell/lib/
/usr/local/bin/aspell/share/

In my php code, I reference:
$aspell_prog = '/usr/local/bin/aspell/bin/aspell';

The error I am getting is:
Quote:
Error executing '/usr/local/bin/aspell/bin/aspell -a --lang=en_US
(...)
/usr/local/bin/aspell/bin/aspell: error while loading shared
libraries: libaspell.so.15: cannot open shared object file: no such file or
directory

The file, libaspell.so.15, is in the /usr/local/bin/aspell/lib/ directory.

I am using a pre-compiled version because I do not have compile capabilities
on my host.

It might be permissions set incorrectly or something else I do not know
about. I am a relative linux newbie so if you can help, please provide some
instructions.

I can not thank you enough for any help - again I am desparate!
