Sir,

You may have a faulty installation of aspell. The first error I
normally receive when I do not have a file called 'nroff.amf' in
the directory specified with the 'filter-path' configuration key
or its default value. You can verify the current value of the
'filter-path' configuration key with this command 'aspell config
filter-path'.
The second error I normally receive when I do not have a
dictionary installed with the expected file name in the expected
directory. The file name is specified with the 'master' and
'dict-dir' configuration keys. You may also check the value of
the 'master-path' key. Again you can verify the value of these
keys with the command 'aspell config' .

Best regards,
