Did you check Aspell independently of LyX to see
that it
was correctly installed with the correct dictionary?
So that
you created some small file containing a few
deliberately misspelled words and Aspell corrected them? If the test file is once corrected then test with LyX. 'No words were
found'
means no words were misspelled in the opinion of the
spellchecker. Also within a document, the
spellchecker checks from the cursor location and on towards left
and
end of the document. If you haven't repositioned the
cursor
to the beginning of the document, and the cursor
happens
to be at the end or near the end, of course it won't
find any
misspelled words and will say "No words are found",
when
you run the spellchecker. At least that is how it
works for me.

   What's the way to test Aspell without lyx? When I
install it, its program group only shows the
uninstaller. No other executable app. How can I do it?
Aspell does not have a graphical user interface.
Open a command line window (bash or xterm in linux,
or run "cmd.exe" in windows)

Then type the command:
aspell -c filename

Where filename is a _text_ file  you want to spellcheck.

Top see all the options aspell support:
aspell -?

To see more documentation (on linux):
man aspell
