RE: [Aspell-user] urgent and desparate - what is the standard directory for installation?

[Stowe Spivey]

Host's operating system is Redhat Enterprise 2.1

 

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 directories:
/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:

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!

What is your operating system?  The standard directory on Unix for Aspell data is /usr/local/lib/aspell-0.60 and for the executable is  /usr/local/bin/aspell.  You can change them when you do the "configure" command, or just copy the executables and data over to your non-standard directory yourself.  To learn what to copy, look in the file "Makefile" for the target "install:"

I have spent 1.5 days trying to get this to install to a non-standard directory without success. 

 

What is the standard directory to which to download and from which to run:

 

tar xvfz aspell-0.50.5.tar.gz

 

?

 

Please provide links, if you have any, for better installation documentation than the sourgeforce site has.

 

I really need some help and greatly appreciate any!!
