wordlists can  be found for language en_US. I installed the
aspell-devel stuff,  installed the english dictionary.. I have
everything compileing.. I  just need to know which file to stick
into which folder so my exe can  see the wordlist.

figured aspell  would be a pretty gnarly thing to add to a
gamegui.

Hi Mike,

I had the same type of problem. You didn't say what your os is.
Since you have an exe, I assume that you use Windows. You didn't
mention which version of the Aspell source you are using. In the
CVS I believe some code of mine was accepted which changes the
default data and dictionary directories to be relative to the
executables directory. Take a look at dirs.h and see if you have
something like this:
#ifndef dirs_h
#define dirs_h

#ifdef WIN32_USE_EXECUTABLE_DIR
# define DATA_DIR "<prefix/data-subdir>"
# define CONF_DIR "<prefix>"
# define DICT_DIR "<prefix/dict-subdir>"
# define PREFIX "!prefix"
#else
# define DATA_DIR "aspell-win32/data"
# define CONF_DIR "aspell-win32"
# define DICT_DIR "dicts"
# define PREFIX "aspell-win32"
#endif

#endif
See the common/config.cpp module to see how the above macro defs
fit into the system for defining data/dictionary directories.

You can also see the results of my efforts here:

Best of luck with Aspell and your game.
