after switching from xforms to LyX-qt-1.3.0 I had some troubles to get running my spellchecker! Following the advice of Juergen I retrieved new GNU-Aspell and the German dictionary (aspell-de) packages. After building debs (for Woody) I installed these by using checkinstall. Everything went on smoothly, but finally I receive same old, weird error message, that LyX doesn't find a suitable wordlist to the tag"deutsch".
Ok, so I tried to customize under preferences menue an appropriate wordlist (which actually reside in /usr/local/lib).
Suprise, in preferences on "personal wordbook" I only find that LyX is looking for *.ispell files, which aren't install at default by aspell-0.50-3!!
Here is /usr/local/lib/aspell
ls de_CH.multi de_DE.multi de.multi deutsch.alias swiss.alias de_CH-only.rws de_DE-only.rws de-only.rws german.alias
A global search on *.ispell ended up unsuccessfully!?
Even Johns proprosal to make softlink form german to deutsch seems to be not working since there are no files named like this!?
So this brings me back to my former question how to manage getting my spellchecker to work?
Do I miss something!?
