The prefix
option is there to allow Aspell to easily be
relocated. Changing prefix
will change all directory names
relative to the new prefix that are not explicitly set. For example
if prefix
was /usr/local/aspell
and dict-dir
has a default value of /usr/local/aspell/dict
than changing
prefix
to /opt/aspell
will also change the default
value of dict-dir
to /opt/aspell/dict
. Note that
modifying prefix
will only effect the default compiled in
values of directories. If a directory option is explicitly given a
value than changing the value of prefix
has no effect on that
directory option.
