>Environment:
FreeBSD wfd-junos-pool26.juniper.net 7.1-RELEASE-JNPR-4 FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE-JNPR-4 #1: Tue Jul 13 11:02:06 PDT 2010     root at svl-junos-pool113.juniper.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MAC  i386
>Description:
1. Aspell sees only url filter

aspell dump filters
url            filter to skip URL like constructs

Compare it with:

aspell dump filters  
url            filter to skip URL like constructs
email          filter for skipping quoted text in email messages
tex            filter for dealing with TeX/LaTeX documents
sgml           filter for dealing with generic SGML/XML documents
html           filter for dealing with HTML documents
context        experimental filter for hiding delimited contexts
nroff          filter for dealing with Nroff documents
texinfo        filter for dealing with Texinfo documents

2. As the result emacs ispell package fails with 

ispell-init-process: Error: The filter "nroff" does not exist
>How-To-Repeat:
Just install the port and try dumping its filters
>Fix:
aspell need dynamic linking library (libdl). FreeBSD does not have this library but its functionality provided by libc.

So, the easiest way to fix is to run configure to get proper link statements generated and then patch generated settings.h enable appropriate compilations.
