Hello everyone
I'm having a problem with the spell-checker. I'm running a computer with
CentOS 6.5 installed, and I installed Lyx 2.1. However when I go in the
settings, the spell-checker option is greyed out and cannot be activated.
The strange thing is that not only a spell-checker was already installed
(hunspell from LibreOffice), but I also attempted reinstalling after
updating hunspell to the latest version with all the available dictionaries
installed.
Anyone else had this problem?
Many thanks
Hi Fabio,
LyX needs to be compiled with spellchecker support enabled (I assume
this requires the devel libraries to link against). If you are
compiling with CMake, try
-DLYX_HUNSPELL=ON -DLYX_ENCHANT=ON
for both Hunspell and Enchant.
Do you mean that cmake does not enable them by default? This is bad,
IMO. The configure script configure whatever spellcheckers it finds, and
it is possible to disable them individually.
