Hello all!

I tried to build aspell-.32.6 on a RedHat 6.1 box, but I get the
following error:

  make[2]: Entering directory `/spare/BUILD/aspell-.32.6/data'
  cd ../; bd=`pwd`; cd scowl/final; \
  cat english-*.10 english-*.20 english-*.35 english-*.50 \
      special-*.35 special-*.50 \
  | $bd/src/aspell --local-data-dir=$bd/data/ \
    create master $bd/data/english-med-only

If I do

  bd=`pwd`; cd scowl/final; \
    cat english-*.10 english-*.20 english-*.35 english-*.50 \
        special-*.35 special-*.50 \
    | strace -f -o /tmp/LOG $bd/src/aspell --local-data-dir=$bd/data/ \
      create master $bd/data/english-med-only

I see the following in /tmp/LOG
  9801  open("/root/.aspell.conf", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  9801  brk(0x8071000)                    = 0x8071000
  9801  brk(0x8074000)                    = 0x8074000
  9801  brk(0x8077000)                    = 0x8077000
  9801  rt_sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK, [ABRT], NULL, 8) = 0
  9801  getpid()                          = 9801
  9801  kill(9801, SIGABRT)               = 0
  9801  --- SIGABRT (Aborted) ---
  9801  +++ killed by SIGABRT +++

I don't know how /root/.aspell.conf should look like and simply
touched it (and /usr/etc/aspell.conf which seems to be required as
well).

Now trying to create the master via the command stated above seems to
work.

Is there an option to keep aspell from looking for the configuration
files? If not, building aspell from ground up is impossible without
creating configuration file dummies, or did I miss something?

Michael.
