I reinstalled LyX under Linux and want to get its spellchecking capability.
Hi Wolfgang,

How did you install LyX? Custom compile? If so, CMake or Autotools?
I compiled LyX 2.3.0 from source https://www.lyx.org/Download/
and used after make src/lyx to try it out. Have not yet made make install.
If
you used a pre-compiled binary, was it from your distro's repo or from
e.g., a PPA? What Linux distribution do you use? What version of LyX did
you install?

Does spellchecking in any language work?
no
  What do you have in Tools >
Preferences > Paths > Hunspell dictionaries?
nothing yet

Where do I keep the hunspell files (English, German) under linux? in .lyx?
It wasn't clear to me from the User guide >
Do any of the following help or is this a freshly new issue?

Best,

Thanks for reply, Scott, and the reminders of earlier mails.
I had difficulties with installing debian stretch anew and switched to linux-mint for the time being. Checking for build-dep lyx I got
we$ sudo apt-get build-dep lyx
[sudo] password for wolfgang:
Reading package lists... Done
E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list
There is apparently only one line in the sources list, and this is commented out: #deb cdrom:[Linux Mint 18.3 _Sylvia_ - Release amd64 20171127]/ xenial contrib main non-free
I got the usual official-package-repositories.list

deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ trusty partner

and tried build-dep lyx again but got
Unable to locate package build-dep

I am new to linux mint and have to find out how to proceed.
Thanks again
Wolfgang

just checked, but build-dep lyx is not found by synaptic and checking for build-dep gives:

W: Target Translations (multiverse/i18n/Translation-en) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:3 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list:3

What to do?
Wolfgang
