Hi Stephan,

Thanks so much for your help! I had the hunspell package but not the
hunspell-devel package. Problem is now resolved.

 You have to install the developer packages - aka rpms - for

 for hunspell (I don't know the package name for RedHat and I don't
 know either if it exists).

 After doing so LyX detects it at configure time and will be build

 There is no configure option.

 Hi,

 you have to provide the developer packages of the spell checker of your
 choice at compile time (of LyX). In case it's enchant you have to configure
 enchant, in case it's hunspell you may provide the path for the dictionary
 files under preferences if they're not found automatically.

Dear Developers / Abdel,

I'm really excited to start using the continuous spelling checker.  Is there
any possibility to use it already now, before waiting for the next 2.0.0
version of LyX??


No sorry, I basically rewrote most of the spell-checking code so this is 
not backportable...


But if you feel adventurous, often do backups, and if you are not afraid 
of crashes, the development version is not so unstable. I use it myself 
for my own document. And there is a good chance that the next version 
will be 1.7.0 and not 2.0.0 as the changes in there are not as 
destabilizing as the ones introduced in




Can I do anything to add it to the current LyX 1.6.3, windows OS.


Nope sorry you can't, but you can try using 'trunk' from svn. If are not 
able to compile by yourself, I (or someone else) can probably send you 
an executable when I come back from holidays.


Cheers,
Abdel.

No sorry, I basically rewrote most of the spell-checking code so this is 
not backportable...


But if you feel adventurous, often do backups, and if you are not afraid 
of crashes, the development version is not so unstable. I use it myself

Nope sorry you can't, but you can try using 'trunk' from svn. If are not 
able to compile by yourself, I (or someone else) can probably send you 
an executable when I come back from holidays.


Cheers,

Well, at the very moment, I wouldn't recommend that. Due to the recent inset 
changes, trunk is pretty fragile.

i have previously used the winedt latex package for windows.
i have installed lyx, cocoaspell and downloaded a PhD thesis template to
start writing my thesis.
i really like the look and feel of lyx and would prefer to use it BUT...
i cannot see a way to automatically highlight spelling errors as i type
them, or indeed highlight them WITHOUT running the spellcheck utility.
due to the volume of text i am going to write, i would prefer it if speling
errors could be highlighted/underlined like in other edititors.
is this possible?
please help

Re: spelling in Lyx 1.4.3-5

[LB]

The problem has been solved by realizing with Joost's help that the 
Dictionary path in the registry points to C:\aspell\lib\aspell-0.60 rather 
than C:\aspell\Dictionary where the dictionaries get placed.  I did not want 
to change the registry, so I simply copied files from C:\aspell\Dictionary 
to C:\aspell\lib\aspell-0.60 and spellchecker started working.


I hope this helps people experiencing similar problem with the aspell.

Thank you
Leo

Hopefully a developer knows what that message means (I don't).  In the 
meantime, is English your default language when you use LyX?  If not, do 
you have Documents-Settings-Language set to English, and do you have 
Tools-Languages-Spellchecker-Alternative language: set to en_US?

Re: spelling in Lyx 1.4.3-5

The problem has been solved by realizing with Joost's help that the 
Dictionary path in the registry points to C:\aspell\lib\aspell-0.60 rather 
than C:\aspell\Dictionary where the dictionaries get placed.  I did not want 
to change the registry, so I simply copied files from C:\aspell\Dictionary 
to C:\aspell\lib\aspell-0.60 and spellchecker started working.


I hope this helps people experiencing similar problem with the aspell.

Thank you

Odd; the upgrade to 1.4.3-5, while creating some nuisance problems for 
me, did not break the spellchecker.


Out of curiosity, if you open a DOS window in the LyX bin directory and 
start it by running lyxc.exe, does the spellchecker work?  (It shouldn't 
make any difference; but then the problem should not be happening.)

Re: spelling in Lyx 1.4.3-5

[LB]

I have just installed lyx 1.4.3-5 on WinXP.  However I can't get aspell 
to work.

What I do is:

1. uninstall old Lyx
2. install new LyX  -  this creates aspell directory in c:\
3. install aspell dictionaries
4. copy  files from Aspell\lib\aspell-0.60 to Aspell\Dictionaries

When I try checking  spelling Lyx says:
The spellchecker could not be started
No word lists can  be found for the language en_US.

Any suggestions?
Thank you
Leo



Did you also install 
http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/Windows/Aspell6/aspelldata-0.60.4-root.exe?


I've been told that this is no longer necessary in LyX 1.4.3 (it was 
necessary with LyX 1.4.1), but I'm not entirely convinced.  If not, try it 
(and then repeat step 4 above if any new files were created in 
Aspell\lib\aspell-0.60).


/Paul



I tried that too.  Interestingly, spellchecker worked in lyx1.4.3-4 but 
stopped working as soon as I installed lyx1.4.3-5.
Since nobody else mentions this problem with aspell, I assume it has 
something to do with my setup.  Is there a way of seeing what Lyx is doing 
when the spellchecker is called?

Spelling crashes on 1.4.0

[Scott Otterson]

Hi, Lyx 1.4.0 looks like a great step forward but, unfortunately, it 
hangs when I click the spellchecker box.  I'm on a Red Hat Enterprise 
Linux ES machine, and since I don't have root write permission, I built 
lyx myself.


Everything works fine except the spellchecker  -- including the thesarus.

Any suggestions?

Problems with spelling checker

[samar]

Hi

I have recently got a new machine with windows xp pro. Lyx ( Ruurd's port)
installed and is working flawlessly with Miktex.

However, I then decided to install the spell checker and did so according to
the instructions on the lyx wiki and  ensured that aspell and the language
file are installed in c:\aspell.

F7 when pushed gives a window box with the message Spell Checker has
failed and then there are three accented letters which vary from attempt to
attempt below the message.

Any ideas on what can be done to install spell check. Spell check  works
automatically in linux every time.

TIA

What messages are posted if you run LyX from the command line as
$ lyx -dbg gui

I'd expect to see things like:
created pspell
killed pspell
telling me that LyX is using the LibPSpell interface to ASpell rather than
the stand-alone ISpell-like executable that is guaranteed not to work with
LyX/Win.

I'd also expect to see the more general:
spell setParams
spell clearParams
spell startSession
startSession: speller exists
spell endSession
endSession with no speller
spell check a word
Updating spell progress.
Found word WORD
Found a word needing checking.

 The defaut checker is ispell.

 In the preferences section change the checker to aspell and reconfigure.
 It should work without a problem.  I have just set up lyx on win xp pro
 and it spell checks fine with this small addition to the wiki
 instructions.

 Let me know if this works for you

Good. This is the library interface to the aspell package.
