Finally I learned how to build aspell myself as universal static library. So I'm able to provide a universal binary with aspell support. It is required to install aspell + dictionaries from macports to make it work. The cocoAspell dictionaries aren't usable with stock aspell code. Another option is the conversion of the self made dynamic library to a framework to place it inside the LyX app bundle. But this would be more work and may become superfluous with working enchant+mac spell service support. What do others think? Pavel, should I provide a 2nd alpha with aspell support? Stephan
