How do I add missing dictionaries for aspell?

If you've installed pspell/aspell via a package channel, the dictionaries may be available in another package. On CentOS 6 using default yum repositories, English dictionaries are in package aspell-en.


I had same problem on Fedora 22. I solved it by installing aspell-en.x86_64package.


Download dictionaries from here: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/en/ Unzip it and do,

    ./configure
    make 
    make install

All the instructions are in README. This Makefile will find the correct locations that these dictionaries should go to.
