I have just installed lyx 1.4.3-5 on WinXP. However I can't get aspell to work.
What I do is:

1. uninstall old Lyx
2. install new LyX  -  this creates aspell directory in c:\
3. install aspell dictionaries
4. copy  files from Aspell\lib\aspell-0.60 to Aspell\Dictionaries

When I try checking  spelling Lyx says:
"The spellchecker could not be started
No word lists can  be found for the language "en_US"."

Any suggestions?
Thank you
Leo


Did you also install http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/Windows/Aspell6/aspelldata-0.60.4-root.exe?

I've been told that this is no longer necessary in LyX 1.4.3 (it was necessary with LyX 1.4.1), but I'm not entirely convinced. If not, try it (and then repeat step 4 above if any new files were created in Aspell\lib\aspell-0.60).

I tried that too. Interestingly, spellchecker worked in lyx1.4.3-4 but stopped working as soon as I installed lyx1.4.3-5. Since nobody else mentions this problem with aspell, I assume it has something to do with my setup. Is there a way of seeing what Lyx is doing when the spellchecker is called?
