Yes, thank you, that link contained this link:
http://aspell.net/man-html/Upgrading-from-Aspell-0_002e50.html#Binary%20Compatibility 
E.5.1 Binary Compatibility

..."However, this means that having both Aspell 0.50 and Aspell 0.60 
installed at the same time can be pragmatic. ..It is up to you to somehow 
ensure that both the Aspell 0.50 and 0.60 executables can coexist. ..If 
after incrementing the so-name you wish to allow programs compiled for 
Aspell 0.50 to use Aspell 0.60 instead (thus implying that Aspell 0.50 is 
not installed) then you can use a special compatibility library which can be 
found in the  lib5
directory."
