sudo -c "$PWD/configure --enable-static --disable-shared" further you only need to specify either --enable-static or --disable-shared as these both switches imply each other implicitly. Means you only can build either static or dynamic linkage during one installation process. Means per default aspell is built with dynamic linkage if possible on your system and you have to force static linkage by ---enable-static switch. In case your system only allows static linkage aspell is built satic. By the way why would you like to build aspell statically except for copying program to system with no dynamic libraries installed? > If I don't sudo I get 'permission denied.' Hm are you shure you have set the path to the entire aspell folder containing aspells configure? typing pwd or echo $PWD or any command telling you which directory you are located in (probaly dir). > > > I have also Repaired Disk Permissions with the Disk Utility.

Hm to me looks as you haven't changed the path to aspell directory but called some hidden configure from MacOS which is only callable by root. > cu Christoph ps.: i'm just guessing as i do not know MacOS -- Dipl.-Ing.
