F7: How to get spell check to work in Alpine 0.9999

[Gilbert Sebenste]

Hello all,

I cannot get the spell checker to work in the Alpine email/news reader 
that was compiled on Koji by hitting ctrl-T in the message body. Using 
/etc/pine.conf, none of these work when uncommented out:

#speller=/usr/bin/pine-spellcheck
#speller=/usr/bin/aspell
#speller=

The first and the middle entries gives me an error:
Alternate Speller terminated abnormally -1

The last entry gives me:
Spell-checking file "" not found

Any ideas?
