First time submission so apologies if this does not work as I imagine. I have searched the mailing list under "aspell/English", "dictionary fedora" (and some variations) and "error message truncation" without locating a reference to my my problem. I suspect that my personal filing process is aberrant which often leads to poor outcomes to my queries.
I am running Fedora Core #1 and not sure how to determine which version of KDE (likely pretty much what came with the distribution). Lyx 1.3.5 compiled and is up and running however I cannot get the Spellchecker to work. It tries, but gives the following message (which looks to be truncated). "The file '/usr/local/lib/aspell-0.60/english can not be opened for re'." Looks like the message box does not wrap the text around to see the last part of the message. Any clarification of the message (or other relevant guidance ---a pointer to other user communications about the same problem, perhaps?) would be much appreciated. (I did have ispell working (previous Lyx version, running on RH7.1 as I recall) but lost it when upgrading to present version of Linux. I therefore loaded it up again after the new version of Lyx could not find any aspell/English file. If relevant, the Thesaurus does function.) -- Bruce E Weller
