I checked out svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/dictionaries/trunk and added root@liv-laptop:/usr/local/build/lyx-hunspell# ls -l total 16 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 12288 2011-09-28 23:14 dicts drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2011-09-28 23:12 thes to PATHs in LyX Prefs. I tried with both /usr/local/build/lyx-hunspell and /usr/local/build/lyx-hunspell/dicts In both cases I reconfigured. My build of LyX is compiled with support for Hunspell, and Hunspell is selected as engine, but no spell checking is being performed. Hunspell works fine when used through Enchant. Am I missing something obvious? Liviu
