I looks like the program is trying to load the shared library by using the name libaspell.so.15 whereas the library is probably actually in the file libaspell.so.15.0.2 libaspell.so.15 should be a symbolic link to libaspell.so.15.0.2 - if it isn't then this is probably the problem - you just need to remove libaspell.so.15 and re-link it.
Thanks for the tip Steve. However, unfortunately, it looks like the file is already linked:

Thanks for the suggestion.
