Pspell on RH ES not working properly -- solution

After a hectic morning of trying to figure out why a client would get the following error message:

Warning: PSPELL couldn't open the dictionary. reason: I'm sorry I can't find any suitable word lists for the language-tag "en".

It turns out that on (at least) Red Hat enterprise boxes that a file called /usr/share/pspell/en-aspell.pwli needs to be created, containing the following line:

/usr/lib/aspell/english

Once this file is in place, the pspell error goes away.

Just an FYI, hope it helps someone else!
