Probably an issue of making sure /sw/bin/ is in your path.
Try adding it to your path or making sure its in your path before running cpan. Or you can also use cpan to get then install manually by going to the .cpan/build/(aspell sub directory) See if it will install and test without cpan, then check the test error logs if it doesn't.

Hope that helps.

I would try it myself, but I've moved on to the Universal Binary world...

Hello all,


I have some questions to the Module Text::Aspell and the general concept of
installing Open Source Unix software on Macintosh ...

My point of departure was, that I was annoyed, that I could not use aspell for some lines only, say a new paragraph. I have to start over at the very beginning to check the spelling. Did I oversaw something in the manual of Aspell? So I thought, probably the Perl-Module Text::Aspell will bring me
the possibility to do this ???

I get following errors installing Text::Aspell with cpan:

cpan> install Text::Aspell

...

making

% which aspell

I get

/sw/bin/aspell

so do I have perhaps to install my aspell into a different place like:

/usr/local

??? In any case my American English dictionary seems to be installed,
because I can do an aspell-check with the option --lang=en_us without error
message ...

I have a fundamental doubt about my fink installation and the other Unix stuff I installed on my computer, like Perl 5.8.8, or mysql or mod_perl ...

Do I really need Fink and XDarwin to install Aspell? Sorry for this dump
question ... I am on MacOS 10.3.9


thank you in advance for your patience
