Just installed the aspell and aspell-en packages using Fink. This is the output in Terminal;
-------- varun:~ varun$ aspell -v @(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.50.4.1) varun:~ varun$ echo $SHELL /bin/bash varun:~ varun$ echo $PATH /sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin varun:~ varun$ aspell -v @(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.50.4.1) varun:~ varun$ ispell @(#) International Ispell Version 3.2.06 08/01/01 word: ^C varun:~ varun$ -------------- Spellchecker in LyX now works with aspell. I guess this does solve my problem though i am not sure why ispell doesnt work from within LyX. Thanks for the help. varun
