There is. You need to install the dictionary/-ies. 1. Select aspell (not ispell) in the LyX Preferences dialog, save. 2. In Terminal.app, cd /Library/Application\ Support/cocoAspell/aspell6-en-6.0-0 sudo ./configure sudo make sudo make install and repeat steps 2 and 3 likewise for each additional dictionary you want to install. (That's a quote from an earlier post of mine, it should really be added to the FAQ!) > ISPELL: > I got a tar file which requires some knowledge to be installed.
