Do i get your right that yo are disablin curses support as you only want to use 
pipline interface to aspell. ??
Or do you simply disable curses as you haven't installed it yet? (from the 
saying below i do assume pipline interface)

Again assuming you are calling aspell in pipeline mode: So are you sure your 
application or script sends the right characters to aspell via input pipeline? 
Means does it send numerical arguments as ascii strings or as real numbers. But 
it simply might be linked to the disabling of the curses lib as no interactive 
interface is needed. Just for testing try to compile aspell with curses support 
enabled, while still using aspell in pipeline mode, and post if the problem is 
still existing or not, this at leas would help to narrow the number of possible 
causes.  

As I've allready state above i only can give sugestions but no real answer 
(sorry).
