The aspell executable is probably not in your PATH.
You can see the value of PATH with "echo $PATH".

First you have to find where it is (I guess it is in $HOME/bin),
with "find $HOME -name aspell" for example. Then, if it is in
$HOME/bin, type "PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin" then "export PATH" (this
depends on the shell you use, it may be with "set PATH=...", I was
using the bash shell syntax).

Regards.
