Alright, time to go on a quick run down of how this pkgbuild is outdated

pretty much okay. till here.

DO NOT USE $startdir. It it outdated and breaks on peoples systems that
have a BUILDDIR specified.

Don't do this. Makepkg will do this itself. These || return 1 things are
totally unneeded.

Again, more startdir. Also, this should be part of a package() function,
nto a build function. And in pacman 4.1, the $pkgdir is made
unread/writeable before the package function is called (Allan, correct
me if this is just your working branch) so calling $pkgdir (or
$startdir/pkg) will just fail if it's called before a `package()`.

Here's what I'd make it look like: 

pkgname=aspell-nb
pkgver=0.50.1
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc="Norwegian Bokmål dictionary for aspell"
url="http://aspell.net/"
license="GPL"
depends=('aspell')
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
source=(ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/nb/${pkgname}-${pkgver}-0.tar.bz2)
md5sums=('b24b20ad02ce2a569f71f949b48823cc')

build() {
  cd $srcdir/${pkgname}-${pkgver}-0
  ./configure
  make
}
package() {
  cd $srcdir/${pkgname}-${pkgver}-0
  make DESTDIR=$pkgdir install
}

And that builds fine.

ps: next time give us the errors you got when trying to build this.

Thanks,
