Hi!

I would like to use hunspell as the spellchecker.
I have installed it and a dictionary from sources
into /home/lyx/bin .

I've added an environment variable:
DICPATH=/home/lyx/share/myspell

I have uninstalled ispell and I have created a symlink (ispell) pointing
to hunspell. (ln -s hunspell ispell)

Unfortunately, it is not working. It says:
"The spellchecker has died for some reason. Maybe it has been killed."

Hunspell has a pipe interface with the -a option.

Versions:
 - LyX v1.6.3.
 - Hunspell v1.2.8 -
 - magyarispell dictionary: Magyar 1.4

How to work around?

Alex
