I downloaded the 2004  version (0.50.5) and it compiled perfectly with my 
Slackware 7.1 gcc 2.95.3 and gcc-g++-2.95.3, and Slackware 8.1 glibc 2.2.5 
(complete, not just solibs).  email.lo is not in any of these packages.
This version says it requires gcc 2.95 or later.  The later version 0.60 
may require a later gcc or glibc.  It was a 10 min download of this 1MB 
source code package.

I have generated a bunch of .lo and .la files in /lib, 10MB of .so and .o 
in /lib/.libs (8MB of this is liaspell.so), a small aspell and a 1.2MB 
aspell.o and other *.o in /progs, and there are man pages and examples. 
email.o was generated today.  /data contains .dat files for various 
charsets.

Let me know which files you need to run aspell and I will package them.
Is there some way to make packages directly from the Makefile rather than 
installing and figuring out where things went?

Part of this require Perl.

I am also planning to compile vim and aspell will be useful with it.
Or maybe ispell.  I don't care about suggested spellings, just catching 
typos.  Aspell will not help you to spell 'hear' instead of 'hire'.
The manual it contains a wrong word spelled correctly, and a properly 
spelled grammar error.
