The answer to your question in your log

sort: data/dictionary.txt:274: disorder: Amercia->America
Dictionary not sorted. Sort with 'make sort-dictionary

[uberhacker]

That doesn't fix it.

$ sudo make sort-dictionary
LANG=C sort -f -u -o data/dictionary.txt data/dictionary.txt

$ sudo make install
sort: data/dictionary.txt:274: disorder: Amercia->America
Dictionary not sorted. Sort with 'make sort-dictionary'
make: *** [check-dictionary] Error 1

Please keep this issue open until this is resolved.

OK, for what it's worth, I was able to create codespell from codespell.py by executing the following:

$ sort -f -u -o check-dictionary data/dictionary.txt

$ make install

Edit: This is not a solution. The resulting codespell executable does not work correctly.
