The aspell library is compiled into lyx as a static lib. That's rather
unfortunate, because it means that the configuration data that's
compiled into lyx's aspell lib may or may not match the locations of
data and dict on yours.
I'd expect (from memory) that you should have
C:\Aspell\dict
C:\Aspell\data
directories and that these should be populated.
You could also use an environment variable ASPELL_CONF to point to a
configuration file containing the equivalent output to
$ aspell dump config
That way, I believe that the static lib within LyX will also use this
configuration file.
Customizing Aspell
The behavior of Aspell can be changed by any number of options which
can be specified at either the command line, the environment variable
ASPELL_CONF, a personal configuration file, or a global configuration
file. Options specified on the command line override options
specified by the environment variable. Options specified by the
environment variable override options specified by either of the
configuration files. Finally options specified by the personal
configuration file override options specified in the global
configuration file. Options specified in the environment variable
ASPELL_CONF, a personal configuration file, or a global configuration
file will take effect no matter how Aspell is used which includes
being used by other applications.
Does this help any?
