L)ookup fails in ispell because the dictionary is not found.

Debian 2.1 with kernel 2.0.36
Package: ispell
Version: 3.1.20-0.4
Package: iamerican
Version: 3.1.20-0.4
Package: libc6
Version: 2.0.7.19981211-6
Package: ncurses3.4
Version: 1.9.9g-8.11
Either ispell should be compiled to look for /usr/share/dict/words
instead of /usr/dict/words, or iamerican (and other ispell dictionary
packages) should install a symbolic link.
