Besides the question how to install hunspell I have a remark here.

Aspell in general is unable to remove words from the personal word list. 
That's why I've implemented the personal word list as a feature of LyX.
The new personal word lists of LyX 2.0 are common to all backends.
Nevertheless the installed Aspell may have its own PWL.
Since these are "write-only" they are used like system dictionaries.
However, if you add a word to your personal dictionary in LyX 2.0,
you'll see them both is hunspell and Aspell. OTOH, you won't see
them in other tools using Aspell.
