Thank for the offer of help; happily I got it to compile (the problem was
stale object files). It does not work though, giving this error when Abiword
starts up:

SpellCheckInit: Pspell error: I'm sorry I can't find any sutable word lists for the language-tag "en".

Both aspell and ispell work from the shell, though...odd. Here are my
versions:

ii aspell 0.29.1-1 A more intelligent replacement for the ispel
ii aspell-doc 0.29.1-1 Documentation about the aspell spell checker
ii ispell 3.1.20-12 International Ispell (an interactive spellin
ii libaspell-dev 0.29.1-1 Headers for developing applications with asp
ii libaspell4 0.29.1-1 The aspell spell checker runtime libraries.
ii libpspell-dev 0.11.2-2.1 Header files for developing applications wit
ii libpspell2 0.11.2-2.1 Portable spell checker interface library
ii iamerican 3.1.20-12 An American English dictionary for ispell.

(This is a Debian system.)

'g++ -v' reports:

        Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-linux/2.95.2/specs
        gcc version 2.95.2 20000220 (Debian GNU/Linux)
