@AWS Thanks for the correction on #1! :) On #2, I was compiling a snapshot build of 5.3 to take advantage of the new garbage collection because I’m using the build to run what’s essentially a daemon process. As far as I know, there’s no reason that it shouldn’t also work with 5.2.6, but I can’t speak to that because I haven’t actually tried it myself.

1. Are you sure your directions are right? You installed aspell at “/path/to/aspell-0.60.5/build”, and then you configure php with “–with-pspell=/path/to/php-5.3/build/aspell-0.60.5/build”. I wouldn’ve expected those two paths to be the same.

2. Is that a special php version you’re using? I see it’s a 5.3 from the snapshot build server. Does that mean this technique won’t work on php 5.2.6?
