What happens if you try to add "/usr/local/lib" to your /etc/ld.so.conf
file and run ldconfig
as root?  I noticed that pspell, ispell and aspell were installing
themselves in /usr/local/lib, unless
you specified --prefix=/usr/lib.  You also have to be sure and follow the
README for pspell
*exactly* like it says, namely install pspell, then install aspell and
ispell, then goto pspell/modules,
type ./add-modules.....

Either modify our ld.so.conf file OR make sure you install all the spell
packages to /usr/lib.

Both these problem caused the "Unable to load "aspell" module" dialog to
occur.
