Maybe some of you use Opera browser as well as Lyx on Windows XP?
I can't seem to get Opera to find the custom Aspell 0.6 built for Lyx, and I can't get Lyx to work with Aspell 0.5 which Opera can use (installed in C:\Aspell in both cases). Finally, it doesn't seem like you can have both Aspell versions installed because Opera uses c:\Aspell no matter where an alternate version is placed. Grrr. Is it really true that I can only have spell checking in my email client or my word processor but not both at the same time? I know there are issues with Aspell on Windows (I searched the mailing list) but this is ridiculous. Why is Windows Lyx using a custom Aspell version in the first place and even if this was a good idea, why is the custom Aspell clobbering other programs which want the stable version of Aspell? -- David Finlayson
