Re: Spellchecker-- AGAIN
I tried removing ~/.lyx and restarting Lyx before I posted my original question, but it did not work. My suspicion is that the compiled-from-source lyx somehow failed to make contact with the spellchecker and dictionaries, and that when I run lyx it is that version (from /usr/local/bin) that is actually running. I do not have this problem on several other machines, where I used the binary installer (both for Windows and for ubuntu), which is why I suspect the compiled-from-source version.

It also works for me on other machines (Lubuntu 32 bit, Win-XP and Lubuntu 64 bit), but not on this one (Lubuntu 64 bit).

Re: Spellchecker-- AGAIN
I have hunspell, aspell and their dictionaries installed, but Lyx seems to ignore them. Furthermore, the hunspell dictionary path box is grayed out, as is the box for Spellcheck engine, so there is no way for me to tell Lyx where to find what it needs. In an attempt to fix it, I have removed Lyx and reinstalled it, but to no avail.

Spellchecker-- AGAIN
I know this has been asked here often, but now I cannot get the spellchecker to work. I am using Lyx 2.04.1 under Ubuntu 12.04. I have installed myspell-en-us, but the spellchecker box under spellchecker in Preferences is grayed out. What do I do? Thanks, EK
