I can't claim to be an expert on the way the search path works, but the 
issue might only surface when spe is used in a component which is 
compiled as part of the IDE. Can I suggest a short term fix is to rename 
the local copies of the units (spe -> spe_fixed)? This will definitely 
remove the clash.
