<h4 class="subsection">4.4.2 Notes on the Prefix Option</h4>
<p>The <samp><span class="option">prefix</span></samp> option is there to allow Aspell to easily be
relocated. Changing <samp><span class="option">prefix</span></samp> will change all directory names
relative to the new prefix that are not explicitly set. For example
if <samp><span class="option">prefix</span></samp> was <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/aspell</span></samp> and <samp><span class="option">dict-dir</span></samp>
has a default value of <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/aspell/dict</span></samp> than changing
<samp><span class="option">prefix</span></samp> to <samp><span class="file">/opt/aspell</span></samp> will also change the default
value of <samp><span class="option">dict-dir</span></samp> to <samp><span class="file">/opt/aspell/dict</span></samp>. Note that
modifying <samp><span class="option">prefix</span></samp> will only affect the default compiled in
values of directories. If a directory option is explicitly given a
value then changing the value of <samp><span class="option">prefix</span></samp> has no effect on that
directory option.
