Installing cocoaspell works for me with LyX-1.3.5 on 10.3. For it to
work, however, you must create a soft link from
/Library/PreferencePanes/Spelling.prefPane/Contents/MacOS/ cocoAspell to
/usr/local/bin/aspell (as specified in the wiki page
(<http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Mac>).
I don't have 10.4, which I gather is what you mean when you say "tigger", right?
Right (o.k.a. "Tiger").
Yep, sorry for the acronym. But, it feels good!
Do let us know if there is an incompatibility there.
There is an incompatibility there! :-) The 10.3 wiki instructions fail
for 10.4; setting the LyX Spellchecker pref to "aspell" and then doing a
spellcheck brings up the error msg:
It is not an incompatibility, because it is not installed.
Error: The file "/usr/local/lib/aspell-0.60/english" can not be opened
for reading.
There is no such file, or subdir, as "english" in
/usr/local/lib/aspell-0.60. (Nor is there, for that matter, any such
file in the aspell-0.60 distribution on my FreeBSD box -- which suggests
perhaps aspell is not being called correctly within LyX?) I've tried
setting numerous symlinks therein to dictionary files and such that are
residing in /Library/Application Support/cocoAspell/aspell6- en-6.0-0 to
no avail (all of which returned an error msg to the effect that the file
I tried linking to was in the wrong format). aspell works just fine
from the command line, btw.
If you have installed cocoAspell 2.? then you will not need the link as it already does this for you.
What you need to do is follow the link to the dictionaries on cocoAspell site and download aspell6-en-6.0-0.tar.bz2. Decompress and place folder in /Library/Application Support/cocoAspell this places it where OS X Tigger looks for it then go into your System Preferences and select dictionaries. Tigger does the rest???
Now try LyX if it works congrats if not then their is another trick. Copy the file you downloaded from the one you placed in cocoAspell using command line tool (Terminal) go to where folder is and type executing with the return key after each command.
./configure make make install
This installs the dictionary in the actual Aspell folder at /usr/ local/lib/aspell-0.60 and LyX should work with this dictionary now.
Cheers!
