LyX 1.4.3/Aspell problem (WinXP)

2006-09-22 Thread Paul A. Rubin

Hi,

I just installed 1.4.3 in parallel with 1.4.2 and 1.4.1.  (As usual, 
thanks to the developers for cranking out another new and improved 
version, and to all involved with the Windows port.)  During the 
installation process, I think the installer parked some Aspell-related 
files under C:\Documents and Settings\what_a_handsome_guy\Application 
Data\Aspell.  That is to say, the files are there now, I don't remember 
if they were there before, and during the installation progress report I 
think I saw something on the what I'm up to line about something going 
in up there.


I already had Aspell 0.50, the necessary bits of 0.60, and assorted 
dictionaries installed under C:\Aspell.  The problem is, when I try to 
check spelling in 1.4.3, I'm informed that 'No word lists can be found 
for the language en_US'.  On the other hand, 1.4.2 (which is using the 
same preferences file etc.) seems to have no trouble finding them.  I'm 
hoping I don't have to reinstall Aspell each time there's an upgrade to 
LyX.  Any ideas what I can do to cure this?


Thanks,
Paul (whose spelling, while good, is not entirely perfect)
