This shouldn't be an issue (though I probably wouldn't actually "move" the build directory if it had build pieces in it already. I'd just create a new build folder and start from scratch with a new cmake command--and delete the old build folder).

This is no problem. I've done the same before, myself. But it's been a while.

This, however, makes absolutely no sense. There is no way you should HAVE to do that when building Sigil from scratch using the BuildingOnLinux document as a guide. libhunspell.so and libsigilgumbo.so should be located in /usr/local/lib/sigil, along with the sigil executable. The Sigil launch script should be in /usr/local/bin (named "sigil"). Something has gone badly wrong if you need to create those links. Are you sure you don't have pieces of two different Sigils on your system? "which sigil" from a terminal (no quotes) should return only one result (/usr/local/bin/sigil). If it returns more than one, there's a problem.

You really shouldn't have to link to any files whatsoever. Can you verify that you have .aff files in /usr/local/share/sigil/hunspell_dictionaries ? And that you have three files in the /usr/local/lib/sigil directory (libhunspell.so, libsigilgumbo.so and sigil)?
How are you launching Sigil, by the way? Are you typing "sigil" at a terminal, or are you using the menu entry (typically under "Office" or "Accessories")? If you're double-clicking on the sigil binary in /usr/local/lib/sigil, that could be part of the problem.
