HOWTO

# aspell 0.60.4
# =============
# Slackware 10.0's 'aspell' package includes version 0.50.5, 10.1's includes
# 0.60, and 10.2's includes 0.60.2

# If you are upgrading the old aspell (.33.7 or less), cd into it's source
# tree and run 'make uninstall', then remove the source and tarball

# pspell has been merged with aspell, so unless you need to keep it around
# to build pspell support into PHP or something like that, also
# 'make uninstall' it

# To clean up an aspell that was installed under /usr/local, cd into it's
# source and run 'make uninstall' before proceeding here.  After that do
# this to clean up the empty directories it'll leave behind:
su
test -d /usr/local/include/pspell && rm -r /usr/local/include/pspell
test -d /usr/local/lib/aspell && rm -r /usr/local/lib/aspell
test -d /usr/local/share/aspell && rm -r /usr/local/share/aspell
test -d /usr/local/share/doc/aspell && rm -r /usr/local/share/doc/aspell
exit

# Do this if you're installing/upgrading aspell, the dictionary, or both:
mkdir -p -m 0700 ~/installed/aspell ~/src/aspell

# Install aspell (skip this part if you're only upgrading the dictionary):
