I'm almost sure Hunspell with enchant doesn't use the dictionaries in
"/usr/local/build/lyx-hunspell/dicts".
LyX itself looks into the given path for Hunspell dictionaries from the
preferences,
the ${user-support-dir}/dicts and ${system-support-dir}/dicts (in this order).
In case you gave it the correct path in your preferences and have enough
permissions
(not only as root!) to read files from there it should work.

We should add a warning message when no dictionaries could be found and where
LyX
did look for. Unfortunately this is not that easy, because this is a common
situation.
LyX looks up the dictionaries for all languages it knows and there are many
without a
dictionary. That's why there is only a FIXME in the code from the beginning of
it's
existence.
