Re: "Spell checker has no dictionaries"

[John Kane]

 I just installed 4 or 5 spellchecker dictionaries using the standard sudu 
apt-get install command in Ubuntu. 

Of course, I installed the hunspell-en-ca dictionary that spells things like 
colour correctly

Rich,

Hunspell uses its own set of dictionaries, such as Hunspell-en-us (U.S. 
English), Hunspell-en-gb (English with unnecessary extra letters), 
Hunspell-de-med (medical terms in German) etc. Looks like you have to 
install one or more of them. Assuming your default language is U.S. 
English, you'll need Hunspell-en-us for sure. With Ubuntu and Mint, you 
can do this through Synaptic or (at least in Mint) the Software Sources 
app. I forget what distro you use, but if has a package manager I would 
start there.

Paul,

  Well that would certainly explain the problem.


I forget what distro you use, but if has a package manager I would start

  Sure enough, SlackBuilds.org has an English language package which
provides five dictionaries of English usage - Australian,
Canadian, United States, and two forms of British English.

  As the package maintainer explains, "he reason I've included two forms of
British English dictionaries are:

"1. The -ise suffix is more commonly used by British speakers and all other
forms such as en_DK, en_IE, en_IN, etc are symbolic links to en_GB-ise.

"2. the en_GB-ize/en_GB-oxendict which uses the -ize suffix is known as
Oxford English Dictionary Spelling and is generally favored for academic,
formal, and technical writing."

  I modified the build script to limit it to US_en as that's the only flavor
I speak/write.

Thanks for the pointer,

Rich

Re: spell checker

[John Kane]

Just tried it and it seems that it will only correct one word in one cell.
However if one is spell checking regular text above and below the table it
will a) check the text above and below the text but only correct one word
in one cell of the table.

If this is a feature and not a bug, it seems a very unusual feature

Thanks to all of you. Glad that you found the reason. There is a Linux 
day TUEBIX on the 13th of June in Tuebingen, Germany,

http://www.tuebix.org/programm_raumplan/
with quite a number of talks/workshops, and I will present LyX; would 
have been a pity without the spellchecker.

Will follow your advice.

Thanks to all three of you. I am answering to the three messages.
The paths allow to search for the Thesaurus,

The code to implement thesaurus support is always part of LyX.


but the Hunspell search box is greyed out and I can'write into it.

The hunspell dictionary path input field is enabled if and only if
the code of the hunspell engine is part of LyX. This is a decision
of the LyX packager. It looks like the LyX package you're using is
built without any spell checker support.

Indeed. Looks like you installed from the official repos, and it seems

Hi Junchao,

yes, that's your user directory. LyX is looking for dictionaries in:
1) preference specified directory
2) user directory + dicts
3) lyx binary directory + dicts
4) /usr/share/myspell/dicts

You don't have to set the DICTIONARY environment.
LyX tries to find the appropriate dictionary matching the language of the text 
inside your document.
That's e.g. en_US if your document language is set to English(US) and/or you 
have the language of some text set to it.

Hi, Stephan,

Dear Junchao,

hunspell and LyX are two independent programs. LyX has builtin hunspell support 
or not.

I understand this as: you can see hunspell as available spell checker in 
preferences, right?

LyX does not find the dictionaries in your home directory. 
You have to point it there in LyX path's preferences.
Try to enter /home/jczhang/usr/share/dict and see if it helps.

You cannot change the document language?

This should change the language of the text part you've currently selected.

Sorry, I cannot reproduce the "2-manifold" problem. For the quotes it makes
a difference how I've entered the quotation marks. (See the screenshot below.)
The first one are real quotes. The second simple quote key strokes.

The suggestion would be to use "Insert->Special Character->Single Quote" or the
short cut given there.
It depends on how the "2" is entered, and I did not make that clear.  I 
usually write things like n-manifold ("n" being the dimension), but the 
n is in math-mode (which is the proper way).  I am so much in that habit 
that I enter the 2 in math-mode as well.

It turns out that Enchant and aspell were already installed, I just

Probably not, I guess you merely need to install the correct spelling 
software.


Debian is similiar to ubuntu, on debian LyX uses enchant for 
spellchecking. The package "libenchant" must be installed for this to work.


Try "apt-cache search libenchant" to see what the exact package name is. 
(In my case "libenchant1c2a", could be different on ubuntu)


Then, install the package. After that, restart LyX and use the menu 
Tools->Reconfigure.



If ubuntu is set up to use aspell, make sure you have "libaspell" 
installed. Compiled-in apsell functionality will need the library 
version of aspell.


Finally, make sure you have dictionary files for the language(s) you're 
using.

LyX 2.0 is not using the external aspell binary.
It has to be compiled in. Did you compile LyX yourself?

Re: Spell checker in Lyx

[Julio Rojas]

You need to recompile, not install Lyx. I guess that Lyx found in the
repository is compiled without aspell support. This is why you need to
compile it as directed in the link provided.

You build LyX yourself? On what platform? You've installed the developer 
version of hunspell library (including header files)?

I did compile LyX as well as hunspell on my machine, as well as any other 
package: it's an amd64 gentoo system. As for configuring Lyx so it uses 
hunspell, just go to Tools/Preferences/Language/Spellchecker.

Re: Spell checker problem

[Sebastian Rockel]

Hello,

I can confirm this issue also on my site (same configuration).

First I 'added' Gärdenfors in the spell checker dialog then suddenly it 
complains about correct words like 'with'.
Secondly the added word does not appear in any of my personal aspell 
dictionaries (~/.aspell.*)

I tried also to play with 'use input encoding' in lyx spell checker 
preferences, no effect either.

Re: Spell checker

[Julio Rojas]

I'm back at home so let's see the procedure I used to install CocoAspell:

1- Removed aspell via: make remove (I installed it with macports, then
removed it. Afterwards I installed the version working in my computer
compiling from source.)
2- Downloaded and installed CocoAspell.
3- Test it with English. It worked perfectly.
4- Downloaded and uncompressed the Spanish dictionary.
5- Copied dictionary files to: /Application Support/cocoAspell/aspell6-en-6.0-0
6- Enabled the Spanish dictionary through the cocoAspell preference pane.
7- Test it with Lyx and... still the same behavior, no accented words
are recognized.

Can you help me?

Re: Spell checker

[Murat Yildizoglu]

I see a more recent version (.53) at the following address:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/fr/

This is the address given on the cocAS page, following the Dictionaries link.

Sincerely, I do not remember from where I have downloaded my aspell
dictionaries. I have first tried the Fink version of Aspell and it was
not working with Lyx. Then I have found cocoAS and installed it and
copied the dictionaries from the fink folder to the cocoAS folder, as
far as I remember...

Now I have checked by redownloading the 053 file and it contains
exactly the dictionaries that appear in the dictionary tab of cocoAS.

You could check the aspell-es-0.50-2.tar.bz2 file that I can see in
the above address.

Re: Spell checker

I have checked and there are two dictionaries available for download:

aspell6-es-1.9a-1.tar.bz2

The second one is the one I have installed. In french there is only
one dictionary:

aspell-fr-0.50-3.tar.bz2

I cannot find, as you have said, one with and one without accents. I'm
checking the files at:

Re: Spell checker

[Murat Yildizoglu]

For information, I use the following dictionaries for French (they
have been chosen by cocoAspell when I have checked French(France) in
the dictionaries tab):

fr-40-only.rws
fr-60-only.rws

Hi Julio,

I have just checked again to be sure and it is able to handle accented
words in my French documents.
I have a Settings applet called Spelling and I have checked Tex/Latex
in its options. Have you done this? Maybe this is the culprit?

Re: Spell checker

I have tried several combinations trying to make CocoAspell work with
the Spanish dictionarie, but nothing seems to work. My problem is that
accented words are not recognized. I think I'll try again. Can you let

Re: Spell checker

I can use English and French dictionaries with CocoAspell with Lyx I
have just installed it and selected the relevant dictionaries (US
English and French for me). I have not done anything else special to
make it work, as far as I can remember.

Re: Spell checker

[Justin Wood]

I could have sworn I had spellchecker working under OS X 10.6.2 (+ x64
extensions) last week, just by installing the aspell package in MacPorts
(v0.60.6_2). But since then it wouldn't work other than to occasionally *
almost* pop-up the checker window when frantically hitting F7 -- it would
flicker for the briefest moment but never appear. Command line tests of
aspell showed it was installed and working fine. Indeed, if I changed the
LyX preference to ispell -- not installed -- spell checker would complain,
so LyX *was* able to locate aspell.

Anyway.

I just installed the latest
cocoAspell(v2.1, with
Snow Leopard updates), which I haven't tried before, and
it now works fine in LyX 1.6.5. Mostly guessing, I selected a few of the
various English dictionaries available from the new spelling Preference Pane
cocoAspell installs. Perhaps that makes a difference somehow? I haven't
tried non-English dictionaries though.

Dear All,
It might not sound professional, but try removing all the Lyx files and 
update Miktex, then install LyX again...

Hope it helps...

I have searched on google, Lyx, Aspell, wiki documents  and found nothing.
During this time of trying to actually solve this problem, there is a clear
lack of documentation for installing Aspell and installing the dictionary
files for windows as the program is more Linux orientated.



As other guides state you should copy the dictionaries into the Aspell
directory, is this correct? Other guides in linux state you should compile
these dictionaries. So I am currently confused on what i am suppose to do.



Is there any chance of someone providing a  step by step instructions for
installing Aspell and dictionaries on to lyx for windows? Or providing
information in correcting my problem.





Thanks



Daniel

Re: Spell checker

[E Tunc]

Hi Daniel,

I had the same problem and I have also posted to lyx-users as well but I 
couldn't get any reply.


But I solved my problem. The problem in mines was because I was not an 
admin in my computer, Then I changed this and reinstall the LyX. It was 
solved itself.


May be this is the case for you,too.
Good Luck
Esra

Hi all



I have downloaded the latest version of Lyx for windows and having

placed them under Aspell program data under folders data and dictionary

The current error that I obtain when trying to use the spell checker is "

Ypu don't need to install Aspell manually - the LyX-installers do this 
for you.

I suppose you are only suffering from a misconfiguration. To fix thias

1. uninstall the Aspell dictionaries
2. uninstall Asepll
3. uninstall LyX _completely_
4. open an Internet connection
5. reinstall LyX using the small version of this installer
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller

This will reinstall Aspell and its dictionaries and also take care of 
the configuration.



In tools preferences , Language I have English USA which is the
default. In Spellchecker, aspell library is chosen by default but it
is grey. (cannot change it)


This is correct, because LyX on Windows only supports Aspell as spell 
checker.

Hi Paul,

Don't know if this works the same under Linux as under Windows, but

This is unfortunately a known problem, documented in bugzilla. There

LyX has the potential to use three or more different spell checkers. Which
one are you using?

 Edit->Preferences

It does identify and correct a lot of the words for me (It is not
comprehensive but is still good enough). Spellchecker starts checking
from where your cursor is. So maybe that is the reason. Try putting the
cursor at the beginning and check. Maybe that will help.

Well, I don't know, from where I stand it certainly seems like it uses the

Cos I change the language of the document in Layout > Document > Language 
which is specific to this one document, and nothing happens as far as the

I may be crazy though. Always a possibility.

Given the amount of dependencies involved, I think I'll let it rest for
now. The hyphenation thing was more important and that one has been
solved.

Thanks for trying to help me out though.

Hmm... I remember that I saw this error message on my box too, and it was due 
to conflicts between an old ispell version and the new (GNU) aspell. Can you 
try to uninstall ispell and aspell completely and install from scratch? I 
don't have any other ideas ATM.

Does the console say anything? You could try -sync else.

It doesn't help, and yes, I have really selected ispell (although aspell
is installed too).

Should I run lyx with some debugging options?

What happens if you select "alternative language: nederlands" in preferences 
(language->spellchecker)? Make shure that you have really selected ispell 
(and not aspell).

That was the case indeed. I can't find initexmf on my box though, but
texconfig appears to do the trick as well. Thanks.

This has nothing to do with the spell checker, but with LaTeX's config. Have a 
look at your language.dat file (in texmf/tex/generic/config on my box). If 
dutch is commented out (%! dutch nehyph.tex), remove the comment (%! ) and 
run "initexmf --dump" as root.

Re: Spell checker in 1.3

[Owen Lucas]

I have put the latest xforms on and the spell checker still isnt 
working. Has anyone else got this problem?

When using the spell checker the text boxes do not update when it 
moves on to the next wrong word. if you click on that element it will 
update  that element but none of the others. Is this a problem with 
xforms, lyx or my X11R6?

It means that it really, truly linked against libforms.so.0.89. Check your 
/usr/lib etc for libforms.so.0.89. It may be a symlink. Get rid of it, get 
rid of the libforms* files in your xforms src dir and regenerate the 
libraries.

No. You have to insert "deutsch" for german documents with the "german" class

(neue Rechtschreibung).

Hello,

yes you are right. I mixed something up.

Hello Gerhard,

I guess you already have adjusted your language in  layout ->document 
-> language.
What did you take "deutsch" or "german"?
It is suguested to insert "deutsch" instead" of "german" when running

Re: spell checker

[Thierry Michalowski]

Which is almost certainly _not_ a problem:
the "s" is for usual British language
the "z" is for usual American language
The spelling you choose is entirely on your mind, whatever the default
would be in your spellchecker...

Using an "s" instead of a "z" is usually a sign of using a British dictionary
instead of an American dictionary.
