I've introduced the lookup for dicts in /usr/share/myspell. At that time I thought about a configure option too - but I didn't introduce one. The "dicts" sub dir directory addition I got from the rpm file list of the dictionary packages. So, yes, effectively LyX looks for the hunspell dictionaries in "/usr/share/myspell/dicts" as a last resort. The other places LyX is looking for system dictionaries is the directory dicts in the LyX system dir. For your rpm this would be "/usr/share/lyx/dicts" I'd guess. Stephan
