I haven't used pspell, though I have it installed. Do you have the
aspell rpm or package, which is a separate package?

rpm -qva | grep spell

If you do, get an strace log and search for aspell in it:
strace -oSpellLog.txt /path/to/program/you/run

(if you have the aspell package, one possibility is that permissions are
incorrect to access it)
