You don't have to compile hunspell, but LyX must be compiled with
hunspell support enabled (or, for that matter, hunspell support, which
is enabled by default, can be disabled at compile time).
If hunspell is enabled, LyX will check if the hunspell libraries are
there, and if so, hunspell support will be enabled. This is the job of
your package manager, if you use a binary.
If you compile LyX yourself, assure hunspell-devel is installed.
p.s. could I install enchant instead of hunspell (enchant is
apparently
also using hunspell among others) or is lyx fixed to hunspell?
LyX supports aspell, enchant, and hunspell. You can switch the engines
in preferences (if the respective engine is supported on your box).

Thanks Jürgen,
will try it with the 2.3.1 version of LyX.
/you don't have to compile hunspell, but LyX must be compiled with

you mean hunspell must be installed (e.g. with synaptics)?
