OK I can see a problem already. Having now installed aspell 0.5 (using
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/w32/Aspell-0-50-3-3-Setup.exe) as Paul
Rubin suggested I have binaries, but they are in the C:\aspell\bin
directory.
So... using
C:\Aspell>bin\aspell -c misspelled.txt
Error: No word lists can be found for the language "en_US".
Then I installed the 0.5 en dictionary (having already installed the 0.6
one before putting the binary in place) and it worked fine. Even from
within LyX! So it looks like the 0.5/0.6 mix was the problem.
Actually, the mix should be ok. There are two things that may be
confounded here. One is that the first two packages you downloaded from
the wiki don't actually install Aspell -- they install selected parts
necessary to augment Aspell 0.5 to a sort-of-0.6 status. (LyX 1.4.x
needs Aspell 0.6.) The other is that the most recent version of LyX
1.3.7 uses Aspell 0.6, but earlier versions use Aspell 0.5.
Anyway, if it works, it works. :-)
