The Ubuntu packages use different directories (/usr/lib/aspell vs. /usr/lib/aspell-0.60 on Cygwin), so this isn't going to work. Instead, I suggest you build and install these from the source in one of the following ways:

  1. Download the latest source tarball for your language from http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/aspell/dict/, unpack the tarball, then run ./configure, make, and make install.

  2. Use cygport to build a package for you, then manually install it. For example, create an aspell-lt.cygport file with the following contents:

    ASPELL_COMPAT=6
inherit aspell-dict

NAME="aspell-lt"
VERSION=1.2.1.0
RELEASE=1
CATEGORY="Text"
SUMMARY="Aspell Lithuanian dictionaries"

    Then run cygport aspell-lt.cygport fetch prep build install package. Such a package would then be fit for contribution to the Cygwin distribution.
