On Linux mydomain.com 2.4.22 #3 SMP Mon Dec 8 16:04:42 GMT 2003 i686 GNU/Linux make failed coz it cannot find aspell.h, needed by Aspell.xc.

I had this problem also, but realized that if you download and install GNU's Aspell libs, it is fixed. See http://aspell.sourceforge.net/. Install this and then remake Text-Aspell and all should be well. -Heather

Yes, that's the idea. I think that's recommended in step one of the INSTALLATION instructions in the README. Please let me know if that's unclear so I can fix it.

You are right. The instruction in README is not unclear, it just that I used standard Perl installation procedure and did not read README. (Silly me) Hence, can I suggest that a warning message is placed during configure or make (which requires the user to response, such as pressing a key). Thanks for everyone's input and help. Best regards, Cinly [HANK - Tue Jul 20 22:17:21 2004]: Show quoted text

Ok, maybe it can report something like that -- it's not a good idea to expect user input since modules can be installed by other means.
