aspell need path?

ISpell/Aspell could not be started. Please make sure you have ISpell or Aspell properly configured and in your PATH.

How do I put this in my path? Do I need to do something besides

[code]
emerge aspell
env-update
source /etc/profiles
[/code]

did I realy need to do the env-update?

also note that this is only for the current session (or terminal session)
if you want to keep this, you could add it to your profile

With aspell you have to emerge a aspell language for it to completly work. For me that is:

Code:
emerge -p app-dicts/aspell-en

emerge -s aspell to see what other languages are available.
