Hello Konrad,

Please keep the discussion on the list!

I did that (installed old german, de-alt), but I still get the same error from 
Lyx. BTW: I have \usepackage{babel} checked. Interestingly, the first time 
after reconfiguring and trying to start the spellchecker I got a different 
message, which I donĀ“t remember exactly, but it asked, if ispell is not 
installed correctly.

You know there is stuff to set in
1) LyX->Preferences->Language Settings->Spellchecker
AND
2) Document->Settings->Language
?

My aspell binary sits in

$ which aspell
/usr/local/bin/aspell

and my dictionaries sit in

$ locate de.multi
/usr/local/lib/aspell-0.60/de.multi

and LyX finds them both automatically.

If you just type "aspell" in terminal, it should tell you what dicts it has. If this does not work, it's not installed properly.

Is there any way to desinstall Aspell completely, so that I could reinstall?

Maybe make uninstall ?
But no need. A new sudo make install will overwrite things anyhow.

Don't use Fink (it's mostly deprecated). If anything, use MacPorts (and install the aspell and aspell-dict-de-alt). But for this, you probably should remove the other aspell first.

HTH,
Konrad
