Given that they seem to allow you root access, this seems quite an
arbitrary restriction. Have you tried asking *them* to install the aspell
RPM for you? After all, you are paying them, and it would only take a
couple of minutes to do what it's taking you days.

For what it's worth, my libaspell/libpspell libraries are these sizes:

[tai@ophelia (pts/1) ~]$ aspell --version
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.50.5)
[tai@ophelia (pts/1) ~]$ ls -al /usr/lib/lib?spell* /usr/lib/libpspell*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 791 Dec 20 2004 /usr/lib/libaspell.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Jan 31 2005 /usr/lib/libaspell.so -> libaspell.so.15.0.3

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Jan 31 2005 /usr/lib/libpspell.so -> libpspell.so.15.0.3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Jan 31 2005 /usr/lib/libpspell.so.15 -> libpspell.so.15.0.3

Obviously yours will probably be slightly different sizes, but
assuming you're using an x86 processor, yours should be in the same
general area.
