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. \
