You need the libaspell15 package, but as this is a requirement for aspell, which in turn is a requirement for lyx, I wonder why the installer didn't install it for you. You should try reinstalling lyx or install/reinstall aspell, such that you will also get the english dictionary (don't go and simply install the libaspell15 package by itself). In general, when you want to know what package contains a given file, you can use the following URL in your browser: http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=xxx where you simply replace xxx with the name of the file you are looking for. For example, the URL for searching for cygaspell-15.dll would be: http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=cygaspell-15.dll You can also use the command line as follows: $ cygcheck -p cygaspell-15.dll to obtain the same info. The -p option to cygcheck requires internet connectivity, as the master cygwin repository is queried. -- Enrico PS: Please let's keep the list in CC, as this info may be useful for other people.
