Well, I didn't build any of these packages! These are the binary
packages from the 1.6 release (which I am using). Since I haven't
rebuilt (or built) anything it should work fine.

The file 'libltdl.so.3' doesn't seem to exist on the system though,
because libtool isn't installed. So basically the dependency
information is incomplete for the binary package for aspell: I will try
to get libtool and see if it works after I install it (this is much
easier than trying to get all the dependecies for a build, which will
at least be as much and probably more bandwidth+time [excaberated by
dial-up]). If that fails, I will use pkgsrc as suggested.

Thanks.
