Hi,

I'm using redhat 6; I've tried downloading the latest source and
following these steps:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/CreatingLyXRPM#toc3

And also tried creating an RPM package, however the dictionary choice
in preferences > language settings > spellchecker; all options are
greyed out, and I cannot provide a hunspell path under preferences
>paths as this is greyed out. I have relevant hunspell dictionary
files in the ~/.lyx/dicts/ folder and they are named correctly.

This a common issue with linux due to not compiling it with
spellchecking support, and a fix is apparently to use 'Enchant' engine
instead, however I have the Enchant package, and I still cannot select
any spellchecker engines from the spellchecker menu.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can compile lyx on Redhat
with spell checking support?

Many Thanks,

Ben Lowe
