I installed cocoAspell; and, just in case, I just now reinstalled (ver 2.1). And, except for documents containing ú and the like, spellchecking works; I don't get the errors you are reporting. > To be sure I checked in Terminal.app my LANG value => de_DE.UTF-8 > >> I can't get LyX 2.0alpha6 running on my iMac; crashes almost immediately. > > That's bad. Is it Intel Snow Leopard? > What's the first few dozen lines of the crash report contents? Actually, it now seems to be working, so I'm not sure what the earlier problem was. Moreover, the spellchecker in 2.0alpha6 does NOT have the problem with ú that I'm having with the spellchecker in LyX 1.6.7. One thing I did notice however is that LyX 2.0alpha6 does not appear able to open a LyX2.0alpha6 document that I created in Windows 7. It reports that the document was created by a later version of LyX. (And indeed the Windows version has a 4 Oct date stamp whereas the OS X version is 16 Sep, so perhaps that explains it.) Are there plans to make more recent 2.0 alpha binaries available? I tried compiling my own svn version and the compile seemed to complete without complaining (though this required changing some "unsigned int" occurrences to "int" in Author.cpp) but the resulting binary crashes when I try to run it and I don't have the time (and, most likely, the skillz) to diagnose the problem. :-( -chris
