Sorry, not clear enough... here i had no error. 
All is working with aspell (NOT library) at this point.
Than I tried the other route to reproduce the problem.

I'd like to know which aspell configuration in LyX's preferences you're using.
Maybe it's impossible to reproduce because I have a 2nd aspell installation 
from macports...

Good.

Which spell checker did you try? The Native or Aspell or both?

I think the next 2.0 binary package will be beta1.

The compile problem did exist only hours... you have to update your svn 
checkout.

Did you follow the recipes in INSTALL.MacOSX and now it crashes?
