Hello, meanwhile I tried to figure out Konrads advice. I entered "aspell dump dicts" into the terminal, and that´s what it showed:
de de-alt de_AT de_CH de_DE en en-variant_0 en-variant_1 en-variant_2 en-w_accents en-wo_accents en_CA en_CA-w_accents en_CA-wo_accents en_GB en_GB-ise en_GB-ise-w_accents en_GB-ise-wo_accents en_GB-ize en_GB-ize-w_accents en_GB-ize-wo_accents en_GB-w_accents en_GB-wo_accents en_US en_US-w_accents en_US-wo_accents es as far as I understand these dictionaries should be installed, but of the german dictionaries only the d-alt works. Otherwise I still get the message: "Das Rechtschreibprogramm konnte nicht gestartet werden Error: The file "/usr/local/lib/aspell-0.60/ngerman" can not be opened for reading." The english dict. also works. The next problem is, that I marked some passages as english (s.th. like: edit-> textstyle->user defined->language), but they also get checked by the german dict., which is selected in the document-preferences.
