>>> I'm not sure. It builds fine for me on Snow Leopard with Xcode 3.2.6 with either the default gcc-4.2 compiler or with llvm-gcc-4.2. So what you're seeing may be specific to the llvm-gcc-4.2 in your version of Xcode, or specific to Lion or the pre-release of it that you're running. We'll probably have to wait until Lion is released to the public; either this is an Apple problem they'll fix by then, or then we'll be able to get our hands on it and try to fix it. You could also email the developers of ispell about the problem and see if they have any ideas. (MacPorts has nobody maintaining the ispell port.)

I can confirm that simply renaming ispell's getline in correct.c works.
