Sorry, I was away on travel and my wireless card seemed to have died...
But thank you for the response. I did set 
(custom-set-variables
 '(ispell-program-name 
   "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/textmodes/ispell"))
and also to ispell.elc instead of ispell

but in either case this does not seem to work. The strange thing is that it
doesn't work only when I launch Emacs through the icon... when I launch
emacs from the terminal, it finds ispell just fine.
