Hello, Orlando. LyX 1.1.6 fix 4 was released on Jan 13 2002. That's a loooooonnnnnnnggggggggg time ago. There were a whole heap of bug fixes in the spellchecker code that have since been squashed. Any reason why you can't use LyX 1.3.3? The source code can be found here: ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.3.tar.bz2 and there are a bunch of binaries for common distributions here: ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.3.3/ Regards, -- Angus
