Aspell *does* work for Stephen Harris (from a private post), I'm checking
with him and I'll keep devel-list posted."
Paul responded:
"Works for me with 1.3.6pre17. What happens if you open a DOS console,
cd to C:\Aspell and do the following:
bin\aspell -c readme
(assuming that the Aspell readme file is in C:\Aspell)?
Does it start start checking, or does it offer up an error message? "

Hello from SH,
Paul's troubleshooting idea seems very good to me. I notice
what appear to be discrepancies in the docs, believe it or not.
C:\Lyx\Resources\LyX
lyxrc.defaults = \spell_command "ispell"
C:\Lyx\Lyx\Resources\LyX
lyxrc.defaults = \spell_command "none"
[SH: from the recent tex2lyx upgrade]
C:\Lyx\Resource\Lyx
lyxrc.example = #\spell_command Aspell
[SH: It says to uncomment this line to enable it.]
# SPELLCHECKER SECTION ###############
#
# What command runs the spell checker? Default is "ispell" if it is
# installed, "none" otherwise.
# If you have aspell (http://metalab.unc.edu/kevina/aspell/)
# installed and configured, you might want to uncomment the line below.
#\spell_command aspell
# Specify an alternate language. The default is to use the language of
# document. Uncomment both to enable.
#\use_alt_language true
#\alternate_language dansk
SH: Should lyxrc be set to \spell_command = "Aspell" as in lyxrc.example?
It seems to work without it now.
Should #\use_alt_language true and #\alternate_language french be
uncommented if, like Jean-Pierre, two dictionaries are being used? I'm
just looking into alternate causes to Aspell's LyX failure other than
Aspell.
Regards,
Stephen
