#94 Aspell can't compile under a folder with spaces
I was compiling Aspell in a folder named "~/Misc/ncurses 5.4 and
Aspell 0.60 stuff/aspell-0.60" and the compile died with the error
message:
sed: stuff/aspell-0.60/libaspell.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `stuff/aspell-0.60/libaspell.la' is not a valid libtool
archive
Once I changed the spaces in the folder name "ncurses 5.4 and
Aspell 0.60 stuff" to underscores, the compile worked. Looks like
some underquoting in a shell command.

OK I will test Aspell with a folder with spaces and get back
to you.

This looks like a problem with libtool as I can't figure out
where I underquoted. I will try to look into it more latter.

This is defiantly due to a bug in libtool. When I tried to submit a bug report for the issue there response was along the line of "Sorry libtool doesn't support directories with spaces in it". Which indicates they don't think it is a bug. Sorry. Hopefully, someday this will get fixed in Aspell. I will leave the bug open until than.
