Well your solution fixed it.  It was just an incorrect error message that lead to confusion \
because people would install ispell but it said ispell wasn't installed.

If you want to improve the message further, though (and why not?), you could also tell them \
specifically which speller they have selected and what the problem is exactly, i.e. 'You have \
selected "ASpell" as your speller in the configuration dialog but the command "aspell" does not \
exist.  Make sure the "aspell" program is installed and in a directory which is in your PATH \
environment variable'.  But at least now the message is not untrue, which would make it not \
technically a bug anymore.

Maybe it could also do a check when the user selects a spelling program in the configuration \
dialog, and also have no spelling program selected by default, to avoid further confusion. \
