Re: Getting cocoaSpell to work with lyx on a Mac | Or Alternative
Hello, I'm tried this on my Mac, too. I downloaded the german aspell dictionary, unzipped it, and put in into the cocoAspell-Folder, changed the path in Lyx etc. A first test ended up in the same error you reported. Then I looked into the dictionary folder and saw that there is no de-common-rws file. Then I realized what the problem is: I didn't compile the aspell dictionary! (the README-file tells me I have to do this ;-)) CocoAspell does this automatically if you open its preference pane (Systemeinstellungen): If there's a new dict in the path, compiling starts. After compiling be sure that you have checked at least "German" in the CocoAspell preference pane. So maybe you have forgotten this compilation step, too? Kind regards, Johannes After this spellchecking in German works for me.

Getting cocoaSpell to work with lyx on a Mac | Or Alternative
Hello altogether, I have a copy of lyx (1.6.6.1) running on a mac (Snow Leopard). Everything works fine. Now I want some sort of spellchecking. I went for the recommendation of this page http://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/MacSpelling and installed cocoAspell. The installation was self-explanatory. Now I wanted to tell lyx, to use this tool, so I put this line /Library/Application Support/cocoAspell/aspell6-en-6.0-0/english.alias into the "Alternative Language" field. When I hit the Spellchecker-Button, the one with ABC on it, nothing happens. I even tried some misspelling, to see if lyx finds them. Is there more things to tell Lyx, so it can use cocaspell? By the way, there is a great spell-checker on board with OS-X. Isn't it possible to just use this one? Thank you for any kind of help or suggestions for alternative solutions! Kind regards, iustifico
