Wow, hold on. Okay, you have Emacs ispell commands available.
But you have to find out if ispell is installed on your system.
All the Emacs commands use ispell program internally. It you don't have
it installed anything else is futile.

You can run complete-word because the internal command is not ispell but
look, a program similar to grep.

So I think you don't have ispell installed. You should know how to
find out whether some program is installed in your system.
You could use something like (taking you have locate installed)

locate -b |grep bin

or 

find -name '*spell'

This is basic user knowledge. Every system is different so it's difficult
to guess.
