I think on Redhat there's a aspell-devel package you can install that 
provides the required files.

It's not clear where it's breaking

One trick is to run the tests in verbose mode.  I don't use CPAN.pm so 
I'd do:

   $ make test TEST_VERBOSE=1

and then you can see what test is failing.

You can also just run the test script manually from where you unpacked 
Text::Aspell:

   $ perl -Iblib/lib -Iblib/arch t/test.t | less

and then look at the output to see where things are failing.  You can 
edit the t/test.t script to add more debugging if you want.  I'm a big 
fan of debugging by using print statements.

Otherwise, people running Redhat have reported problems with $LANG
settings on their systems (although I think that was Redhat 9).  Mine
(on Debian) is set to en_US, and in the test script it checks that
$aspell->get_option('lang') returns "en_US".  So you might check that 
setting.
