Bengali wordlist for aspell

[Soumyadip Modak <soumyadip@softhome.net>]

Hi,
I'm packaging the bengali wordlist for aspell, for Debian. During
dpkg-buildpackage i get the following errors:

modak:/home/soumyadip/Debian/aspell/aspell-bn-0.50-1# dpkg-buildpackage

I'm a little stumped, as this is the first package I'm debianizing on my
own. Is the errors due to some oversight on my part ? If so then, can
plz. anyone point me out to the appropriate places where i can find more
information to correct my mistakes. 

The error seems to be in the ./configure part, with the --host option
barfing. I know very little shell programming, so i'm afraid a bit to
jump in and delete the offending option.

Thank you.
