[Aspell-user] Aspell/pspell with PHP question

[Maurice Rickard]

I've had a successful build and install (as in "pages are being 
served and database connections work") of Aspell 0.50.3 and PHP 4.3.0 
on both MacOS X (as an Apache module) and FreeBSD (as a CGI), but, 
having done so, I find that I get the undefined function error when I 
try to use any pspell functions.

I've run Aspell from the command line, and found that Aspell does 
indeed work, so my most likely culprit seems to be my PHP 
configuration.  In doing the config, I found that '--with-pspell' 
didn't work--config would stop, telling me it "couldn't find pspell." 
So I then tried --with-pspell-dir=./ext/pspell, which gave me 
successful compiles and installs, but seems to have done nothing to 
allow me to use pspell functions.

I've since tried several different paths for the pspell dir value, 
and found that--however stupid--they all give me successful configs 
and builds, as long as I have *some* value there.  The only problem 
is that inability to actually *use* pspell.

I know that this is more of a PHP issue than an Aspell issue, but I 
wanted to ask here in the event that anyone else has run into this 
kind of thing and resolved it.

Any ideas?   Thanks for taking the time to look at this.
