Now, having experienced the latest version of LyX,
I've tested 1.4.1 on a USB stick. All good, if there
wouldn't be the aspell dilemma! As LyX is compiled
against libaspell.a and expects to find aspell
dictionaries and data files in a predefined location
portability has been lost.
AFAIK, the problem is not within LyX but in Aspell. Indeed Aspell
dictionaries are not relocatable (under Windows); this means that they
must be installed in the same path where they have been compiled. One
needs to investigate Aspell source code as to know if this could be fixed.
I must be setting some sort of record in late replies here ;-)
You reply was one month late, so is this one ;-)
Actually, Abdel, the fault is all LyX's. Aspell is perfectly configurable, but
LyX doesn't have any code to push its buttons.
A long time ago, I wrote this:

Somewhat more recently, I seem to remember expounding further on this subject
but I can't find the post in the archives. Insufficient searching skills ;-)
That is maybe Joost, the new windows package maker on the blocks. The
Aspell problem will be solved in 1.4.3.
Abdel.
