I'm trying to compile sylpheed-claws from CVS on my SUSE 9.1 Pro box and I've managed to get the required files needed with a bit of hunting around. My last obstacle is to get the aspell support enabled. I have aspell installed, but something is amiss as I'm getting the following error during ./configure:

I was hoping someone would be able to give me a better explanation than the message above as to where to put the path that can't be found and what it's looking for.
As the message says, look in the file config.log that gets created in the directory where you're running configure. It will have the real error messages that should tell you what it's all about
