Re: [Aspell-user] installing aspell

[Steven Stapleton]

the first attempt I used lower case, for both var and 
values, then learned the var should be upper. 
Sorry i cut and pasted the 5th or 4th attempt. Was trying 
to vary the upper lower case in case it would help. the 
3rd attempt was with prezip-bin, should it be 
PREZIP_BIN=/usr/.../prezip_bin?

Thanks
