Seems alright, but I have very little experience with aspell. Did you
make sure that aspell can find and use the dictionary before trying
Evolution? The README in aspell5-id-1.2-0.tar.bz2 explains how to do
this.

Are you refering to this?
"If any of the above mentioned programs are not in your path than the
variables, ASPELL and/or PREZIP need to be set to the
commands (with path) to run the utilities. These variables may be set
in the environment before configure is run or specified at the command
line using the following syntax
./configure --vars VAR1=VAL1 ...
Other useful variables configure recognizes are ASPELL_PARMS, and DESTDIR."
I am a newbie, I have absolutely no idea what this means or what to do.
Cheers,
Brian
