LyX/Mac-1.3.4 automatically sets the PATH to include /sw/bin and other directories necessary for teTeX and other auxiliary executables. Early versions of LyX/Mac used ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist to set the PATH. I changed it because the PATH set there affects every GUI application and can have undesirable consequences: if user directories like /sw/bin and /usr/local/bin are ahead of the system directories in the PATH, user-installed binaries will take precedence over system binaries of the same name -- maybe what you want, but potentially dangerous. If the original poster is using LyX/Mac-1.3.4 I would suggest trying ispell from the command line to make sure it is working. Or installing aspell or cocoAspell, which are better spellcheckers. -- Ronald Florence ron.18james.com
