To install the en_US dictionary, I grabbed aspell6-en-6.0-0.tar.bz2, 
unpacked it and ran:
./configure
make
make install

That all seemed to run ok. '/configure' reported:

-----------------------------------------------
Finding Dictionary file location ... C:/_32/msys/1.0/local/lib/aspell-0.60
Finding Data file location ... C:/_32/msys/1.0/local/lib/aspell-0.60
-----------------------------------------------

but i get the following error when running 'aspell -a':

-----------------------------------------------
$ aspell -a
Error: The file 
"C:/_32/msys/1.0/local/lib/aspell-0.60/C:/_32/msys/1.0/local/lib/aspell-0.60/C:/_32/msys/1.0/local/lib/aspell-0.60/en_US.multi" 
can not be opened for reading.
-----------------------------------------------

Hardly surprising it can't be found since, of course, there's no such file. 
(C:/_32/msys/1.0/local/lib/aspell-0.60/en_US.multi *does* exist.)

Is that a problem with the way *aspell* built and installed ? ... or a 
problem with the way the *dictionary* built and installed ?

How can I fix this ? Is there one or more config values that can be amended 
? (I ran 'aspell config' but couldn't see any likely candidates.)

Cheers,
Rob
