Information is in Emacs manual: if you have some of those programs
installed it will work, there is nothing to do on your side.

I have verified it, if program `aspell' is on system, the variable
`ispell-program-name' will be set to its path. Finished there.

Most probably there is nothing to do on your side.

16.4 Checking and Correcting Spelling
=====================================

This section describes the commands to check the spelling of a single
word or of a portion of a buffer.  These commands only work if a
spelling checker program, one of Hunspell, Aspell, Ispell or Enchant, is
installed.  These programs are not part of Emacs, but one of them is
usually installed on GNU/Linux and other free operating systems.  *Note
Aspell: (aspell)Top.

What does it say?

"These commands only work if a spelling checker program, one of
Hunspell, Aspell, Ispell or Enchant, is installed."

Thus it says to me that command like M-x ispell is going to work if
you have those installed. 

Most probably you were using M-x ispell with aspell already.

Try reading manual.
