Questions about setting up DJGPP ports of software are NOT off-topic
here.

The Ispell distribution comes with a README.dos file.  Did you read
it?  It describes how to install and set up Ispell on your system so
that it will automatically find its dictionaries, even if your
top-level DJGPP directory is *not* C:\DJGPP.

If you have read that file and have problems even though you did what
it told you, please tell the details (what did you do and what error
messages did you see).  If you haven't read the README.dos file,
please do: it took me a significant amount of time to write it, and
I'd appreciate that people read it before asking questions.
