Hi Brian,

thanks for the tip - I tried your suggestion with different rpm packages
but I didn't succeed (at least not with aspell but I learned a lot with
rpm2cpio & cpio ;-} ). The problem are the shared libraries which are
not on my (too old I'm afraid) system ...

Perhaps I should forward my question to the aspell-devel list ?

Thanks anyway for your help
Stefan
