ispell can;t update the system-wide dictionary, unless ran as root. Even
then, I don't think it would.
Look in $HOME/.ispell_default instead.
The manpage has the following snippets from the FILE section:
$HOME/.ispell_hashfile
User's private dictionary
.ispell_hashfile
Directory-specific private dictionary
Which actual spell checker you have installed must be
distribution-dependent. Here on Fedora Core 3 and Core 6, it is
"aspell" and "ispell" is a shell script that calls "aspell". Core 6
has both man and info entries for aspell, Core 3 has neither.
