Re: about python3 and lyx
Steve Actually both of those (just installed Anaconda yesterday for somebody) had for at least an year a Python 3 version. I would not say that there is no need felt to move over to Python 3, there's rather _resistance_ to moving over due to manifold retro-compatibility issues in many packages (which however have mostly been adapted by now). And LyX is no different.

I'm a pretty heavy python user and it just doesn't seem like the scientific community in general cares about it. I've actually never met anyone who runs anything in 3. Two of the major python package managers (anaconda and canopy) either default to 2 or don't even support 3. -Steve -- *Fabio Fiorelli* (MEng Chemical Engineering) PhD Candidate University of Cambridge Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology Pembroke Street, Cambridge CB2 3RA, UK

You should not need to add anything to the make commend line. JMarc Hi Jean Marc. There seem to be no additional flags required.

Lyx 2.1.1 installs correctly with access to hunspell without any further configuration, while Lyx 2.1 doesn't. Should I go forward? Thank you for your understanding.
Re: Problem with spell checker
Sorry, I thought I had replied to the list. I tried that a long time ago, and unfortunately those sections are greyed out too. Many thanks On 07/17/2014 05:11 PM, Scott Kostyshak wrote: On Thu, Jul 17, 2014 at 12:00 PM, Fabio Fiorelli wrote: Hi Scott I did have the devel library for hunspell already installed.

Looks like you're using autotools, which I don't know much about (but which is more common so people on the list will know). Maybe the problem is you have to specify the path to the hunspell libraries in Tools > Preferences > Paths? Scott
Problem with spell checker
Hello everyone I'm having a problem with the spell-checker. I'm running a computer with CentOS 6.5 installed, and I installed Lyx 2.1. However when I go in the settings, the spell-checker option is greyed out and cannot be activated. The strange thing is that not only a spell-checker was already installed (hunspell from LibreOffice), but I also attempted reinstalling after updating hunspell to the latest version with all the available dictionaries installed. Anyone else had this problem? Many thanks
Opening beamer with Lyx 2.1
Hello everyone I have several beamer files that I generated from lyx 2.0.6 . We had to change from XP to something else, and we went for CentOS. I managed to install and run 2.1, after a brief period using 1.6 (the version present in the repositories). It seems to run smoothly. However when I try to open the old beamer files I get the following message /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.qDvxspUv9932/Buffer_convertLyXFormatXX.lyx.zKzSulrV993 ended unexpectedly, which means that it is probably corrupted I've looked around, and I think this might be an existing incompatibility, but I did not find any lyx 2.1-specific answer. Is there a solution to this? Many Thanks Fabio Fiorelli
