Two thoughts: after installing ispell, did they restart DrRacket? In their shell, when they install ispell, what path is located at? (The second question is because the normal way one starts up DrRacket, it does not inherit the PATH settings that one gets in the Terminal window, so DrRacket has to have a list of likely places to look and it may be missing one or two or a dozen for all I know. :)
