The WIN32_RELOCATABLE has not been testes since Aspell 0.33. A lot has changed then. I will look into this if I get the time.

Please compile with '-g' and without optimizations in order to get a meaningful backtrace. Then post it it here (to aspell-devel) and maybe I can figure out what the problem is. BTW: Will cygwin not work for you? I believe people have been able to get Aspell working under cygwin. -- http://kevin.atkinson.dhs.org _______________________________________________ Aspell-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/aspell-devel
