emacs ispell

["John M. Rulnick" <rulnick@beaver.wpi.edu>]

Using emacs_19.34-11.deb with ispell_3.1.18-11.deb or
ispell_3.1.20-0.1.deb, attempting to use any ispell function (for
example, M-$) within emacs, I get the message

  "ispell did not output version line"

and the command fails.  Strange.  So I'd be grateful to anyone who can
clue me in to what's wrong.  I'm running Debian 1.3 and Linux 2.1.43.

Thanks.

John

P.S. Note that 'ispell -v' from the command line yields
