cocoAspell stops working after encountering accented characters

[Daisuke Koya]

Hello All,

I am using LyX 1.6.8 on Mac OS 10.6.6.
I am also using cocoAspell for spell checking.

A problem I have with this spell checker is that every time after encountering 
an accented character, it starts to think very common words such as the are 
misspelled.

If someone knows how to remedy this hiccup, I would be very grateful. Thank you 
very much in advance.

Best,

Daisuke Koya

 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

 Yes. I got the English dictionary to run. I figured out, that the cursor 
 must be in the beginning of the file, so that the spellchecker can find 
 errors. If you are at the end of the file with the cursor, it doesn't find 
 anything.
 
 Now I am trying to get the german dictionary to run. I downloaded the file
 
 aspell6-de-20030222-1.tar.bz2
 
 from the cocoAspell-ftp-server and after expanding it i put it in
 
 /Library/Application Support/cocoAspell/
 
 Then I changed the entry in alternative language under preferences - 
 languages - spellchecking to
 
 /Library/Application Support/cocoAspell/aspell6-de-20030222-1/deutsch.alias
 
 Now it looks like this.

Getting cocoaSpell to work with lyx on a Mac | Or Alternative

[iustifico]

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,

Did you try reconfiguring LyX? (LyX  Reconfigure, then restarting LyX)

Also check LyX  Preferences  Language Settings  Spelling; does
aspell show up for the spellchecker engine?

If one or the other of these is needed, please modify the wiki to add

That's on tap for LyX-2.0 (currently in development).

Re: Same question: Spellchecking OSX and cocoAspell

Dear Murat,

thank you again. I did now reinstall cocoaspell und also reconfigure  
Lyx, but spellchecking still does not work, I have no clue what is  
going wrong. Maybe I will try to install aspell these days.


Anyway, thank you for your help!

We need now Lyx-wizards who better knows the interaction between

Have you tried to reinstall cocoaspell and reconfigure Lyx? Maybe
there is a problem in your installation? I do not have any other idea

Dear Murat,

thanks again. I have now authorized each of the folders which  
contain dictionaries to read an write, just to be sure, and still  
had the same problem. In fact, I repaired permissions on 30th of  
May, very recently therefore. I now repaired permissions again,  
just to find out, if the mentioned files change their status again.  
The permissions did not change after that on any of the dictionary- 
folders.


But I now figured out, that also the english spellchecking does  
not work. In difference to the alternative languages the  
spellchecker starts to check, but it does not recognize any english  
word. This is when I add no alternative language, maybe it is not  
in english spellchecking mode then. I have checked german as  
standard-language. It also does not recognize any german word, by  
the way…


As soon as I add an alternative language in the appropriate field  
the spellchecker does not work at all.


Maybe there is a very simple setting I missed, I´m not sure. I have  
entered \usepackage{babel} as language-package, is that correct?


Thanks again, best
Jess

I hope, that somebody could help, as I really have no clue, why
spellchecking does not work in LyX on my computer. If you need  
any

I have tried to use Spellchecking with LyX 1.6.5 on OSX with

This seems to work fine with the english dictionary, which I  
have added

as
»Alternative language«, as described. But as soon as I want to

Re: Same question: Spellchecking OSX and cocoAspell

[jezZiFeR]

Dear Murat,

thanks again. I have now authorized each of the folders which contain  
dictionaries to read an write, just to be sure, and still had the same  
problem. In fact, I repaired permissions on 30th of May, very recently  
therefore. I now repaired permissions again, just to find out, if the  
mentioned files change their status again. The permissions did not  
change after that on any of the dictionary-folders.


But I now figured out, that also the english spellchecking does not  
work. In difference to the alternative languages the spellchecker  
starts to check, but it does not recognize any english word. This is  
when I add no alternative language, maybe it is not in english  
spellchecking mode then. I have checked german as standard-language.  
It also does not recognize any german word, by the way…


As soon as I add an alternative language in the appropriate field the  
spellchecker does not work at all.


Maybe there is a very simple setting I missed, I´m not sure. I have  
entered \usepackage{babel} as language-package, is that correct?


Thanks again, best
Jess

The files in these folders have the rights rw for the user and r for

I can spell check in both languages my Lyx files.

Hello Murat,

hm, no it is not absent in the mentioned folder, but it is not an  
alias. It
is an original. Could that be the problem? If I remove the alias- 
ending in
LyX things don´t change. Would I have to put an alias there? The  
english

dictionary is there as an original, too.

Thank you, best

Hello,

I hope, that somebody could help, as I really have no clue, why

I have tried to use Spellchecking with LyX 1.6.5 on OSX with  
cocoAspell.
This seems to work fine with the english dictionary, which I have  
added

as
»Alternative language«, as described. But as soon as I want to  
change to
another language (german), which I have placed in the same folder  
as the

English-file, I get the following message:

Dear Jess,

We need now Lyx-wizards who better knows the interaction between aspell and Lyx.
Have you tried to reinstall cocoaspell and reconfigure Lyx? Maybe
there is a problem in your installation? I do not have any other idea
about what is going wrong in your case. Sorry,

Murat

Same question: Spellchecking OSX and cocoAspell

[jezZiFeR]

Hello,

I hope, that somebody could help, as I really have no clue, why  
spellchecking does not work in LyX on my computer. If you need any  
further information, please let me know. Here is the problem I have:


I have tried to use Spellchecking with LyX 1.6.5 on OSX with  
cocoAspell. This seems to work fine with the english dictionary, which  
I have added as »Alternative language«, as described. But as soon as I  
want to change to another language (german), which I have placed in  
the same folder as the English-file, I get the following message:


"Das Rechtschreibprogramm konnte nicht gestartet werden
Error: The file "/Library/Application
Support/cocoAspell/aspell6-de-20030222-1.alias" can not be opened for  
reading."


I hope you could help me. When I switch back to the English file, the  
spellchecker works again… Why doesn´t it work with any of the german  
dictionaries I have tried out?


Best
Jess

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Hi Jess,

Is the indicated alias absent from the indicated location? Maybe you
can create it manually and point it to the de file for aspell?

FYI: I can spellcheck both in English and French on my MacBookPro under SL.

Re: Same question: Spellchecking OSX and cocoAspell

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Is the file authorized for being read by the user (or larger rights?)
? Maybe Lyx does not have the right to read the file... Have you
"corrected your authorizations" (I am translating from French a menu
of the disk utility)  recently?

In the folder you indicate I have an aspell-fr-0.50-3 folder with all
rights for the user and rx for the group and a aspell6-en-6.0-0 folder
with all rights for the user and the group and rx for the other users.
 The files in these folders have the rights rw for the user and r for
the group.

I can spell check in both languages my Lyx files.

I hope this helps.

Re: Same question: Spellchecking OSX and cocoAspell

[jezZiFeR]

Dear Murat,

thanks again. I have now authorized each of the folders which contain  
dictionaries to read an write, just to be sure, and still had the same  
problem. In fact, I repaired permissions on 30th of May, very recently  
therefore. I now repaired permissions again, just to find out, if the  
mentioned files change their status again. The permissions did not  
change after that on any of the dictionary-folders.


But I now figured out, that also the "english" spellchecking does not  
work. In difference to the alternative languages the spellchecker  
starts to check, but it does not recognize any english word. This is  
when I add no alternative language, maybe it is not in english  
spellchecking mode then. I have checked "german" as standard-language.  
It also does not recognize any german word, by the way…


As soon as I add an alternative language in the appropriate field the  
spellchecker does not work at all.


Maybe there is a very simple setting I missed, I´m not sure. I have  
entered "\usepackage{babel}" as language-package, is that correct?


Thanks again, best
Jess

Dear Jess,

We need now Lyx-wizards who better knows the interaction between aspell and Lyx.
Have you tried to reinstall cocoaspell and reconfigure Lyx? Maybe
there is a problem in your installation? I do not have any other idea
about what is going wrong in your case. Sorry,

Murat

cocoAspell with two languages in a text?

[Peter Baumgartner]

I have an English text with many German quotes. Changing always the language
for spell chacking in the lyx settings is very tiresome. 

Is there another way to let know cocoAspell that is has to change language
for spell checking? Maybe it can be done with marking the text with the
language text style? The text in Lyx appears underlined e.g. lyx knows
what ist what language. But how to transmit this knowledge to cocoAspell?

Or are there other tips for spell checking of two languages in one text? It
would be already very helpful if cocoAspell/Lyx could ignore the other
language and not always trying to correct words of the other language.

Help would be very appreciated,
Peter

I'm glad you asked this question. I needed to add a Spanish language
dictionary to cocoAspell and with a little googling and command line work, I
got it working.

The cocoAspell project appears moribund, the documentation is incomplete,
and the site is beginning to suffer from link rot. I think the next time I
need to install and configure LyX, I'll just install aspell using Fink and
eschew using cocoAspell to make it available as an OS X service.

First, install cocoAspell and make sure it's working properly with LyX as an
English language spellchecker. That's pretty straight forward.

cocoAspell installs a number of things. It installs aspell itself in
/usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib. It installs a preference pane in system
preferences. It installs a large number of English dictionaries. It installs
a service in ~/Library/Services. That's all OK. If you want the aspell
service available in all user accounts, you'll need to move that last item,
as root, to /Library/Services (you'll probably have to create that
directory). If you just need the service available in the account from which
you installed it, just leave things as cocoAspell installed it.

You'll need to choose one of the available English dictionaries in the
preference pane. Then in LyX preferences you choose aspell as the
spellchecker and add this line to the Alternative Language field:

/Library/Application Support/cocoAspell/aspell6-en-6.0-0/english.alias


That's just following the instructions in the Wiki. Test that you can now
spellcheck an English language document in LyX.


Next, you'll need to download and install a German language dictionary. The
link at the cocoAspell site is dead. Use this one:


ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/0index.html


Unzip the file and follow the README  instructions to install the dictionary
into aspell (it's the usual command line sequence of ./configure, make, make
install, make clean).


Now copy or move the dictionary directory (in my case it
is aspell6-es-1.9a-1) to /Library/Application Support/cocoAspell. Chown the
directory to match the English language directory ownership (it should be
the name of your admin account as owner and 501 as group).


Here's the tricky step. Be sure System Preferences is not running. Get into
the command line and become root. Run System Preferences as root! Don't use
the open command, instead give the full path to the executable:


/Applications/System\ Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System\ Preferences


Do one thing and one thing only while running System Preferences as root.
Click on the Spelling preference pane that cocoAspell installed so it finds,
compiles and configures your new dictionary. Quit System Preferences. Reopen
it from the GUI. You should now be able to choose your new dictionary.


To use your new dictionary, change the Alternative Language field in LyX
preferences appropriately. In my case, it's:


/Library/Application Support/cocoAspell/aspell6-es-1.9a-1/spanish.alias


Voilà! I now have Spanish language spellchecking in LyX.

Re: aspell, cocoaspell with lyx - a fake?

[Joachim Osnabryg]

Thank you very much, Richard, for your kindly and detailed help!

First I uninstalled the aspell installed with MacPorts and tried to follow  
your instructions.

At least to that point I came. I wouldn't call it straight forward but  
the concentrated work of some hours, but anyway, the English language  
spellchecker seems to work usably in my LyX, if I needed it.


I continued with installing and configuring the German language dictionary:

OK, so far.

Only: the crazy German spellchecking in LyX continued as yesterday.

So I give up. I'm going to uninstall CocoAspell as well and shall use LyX  
without spellchecker. Sorry though!


Congratulation to you, for getting usable the Spanish dict. But  
nevertheless I regard this complicated procedure as unreasonable and  
unacceptable for a normal LyX user. I remain with the conclusion:


German language Aspell spellchecking in LyX on Mac-OSX is not practicable!

I'm glad you asked this question. I needed to add a Spanish language
dictionary to cocoAspell and with a little googling and command line work, I
got it working.

The cocoAspell project appears moribund, the documentation is incomplete,
and the site is beginning to suffer from link rot. I think the next time I
need to install and configure LyX, I'll just install aspell using Fink and
eschew using cocoAspell to make it available as an OS X service.

First, install cocoAspell and make sure it's working properly with LyX as an
English language spellchecker. That's pretty straight forward.

cocoAspell installs a number of things. It installs aspell itself in
/usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib. It installs a preference pane in system
preferences. It installs a large number of English dictionaries. It installs
a service in ~/Library/Services. That's all OK. If you want the aspell
service available in all user accounts, you'll need to move that last item,
as root, to /Library/Services (you'll probably have to create that
directory). If you just need the service available in the account from which
you installed it, just leave things as cocoAspell installed it.

You'll need to choose one of the available English dictionaries in the
preference pane. Then in LyX preferences you choose aspell as the
spellchecker and add this line to the Alternative Language field:

/Library/Application Support/cocoAspell/aspell6-en-6.0-0/english.alias


That's just following the instructions in the Wiki. Test that you can now
spellcheck an English language document in LyX.


Next, you'll need to download and install a German language dictionary. The
link at the cocoAspell site is dead. Use this one:


ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/0index.html


Unzip the file and follow the README  instructions to install the dictionary
into aspell (it's the usual command line sequence of ./configure, make, make
install, make clean).


Now copy or move the dictionary directory (in my case it
is aspell6-es-1.9a-1) to /Library/Application Support/cocoAspell. Chown the
directory to match the English language directory ownership (it should be
the name of your admin account as owner and 501 as group).


Here's the tricky step. Be sure System Preferences is not running. Get into
the command line and become root. Run System Preferences as root! Don't use
the open command, instead give the full path to the executable:


/Applications/System\ Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System\ Preferences


Do one thing and one thing only while running System Preferences as root.
Click on the Spelling preference pane that cocoAspell installed so it finds,
compiles and configures your new dictionary. Quit System Preferences. Reopen
it from the GUI. You should now be able to choose your new dictionary.


To use your new dictionary, change the Alternative Language field in LyX
preferences appropriately. In my case, it's:


/Library/Application Support/cocoAspell/aspell6-es-1.9a-1/spanish.alias


Voilà! I now have Spanish language spellchecking in LyX.

Thank you very much, Richard, for your kindly and detailed help!

First I uninstalled the aspell installed with MacPorts and tried to follow  
your instructions.

At least to that point I came. I wouldn't call it straight forward but  
the concentrated work of some hours, but anyway, the English language

I continued with installing and configuring the German language dictionary:

OK, so far.

Only: the crazy German spellchecking in LyX continued as yesterday.

So I give up. I'm going to uninstall CocoAspell as well and shall use LyX  
without spellchecker. Sorry though!

aspell, cocoaspell with lyx - a fake?

[Joachim Osnabryg]

Could it be that the spellchecking possibility in LyX with Aspell or  
CocoAspell is a big piss take, at least on Mac-OSX?


I have worked till today without spellchecker in LyX, but I should install  
one for my convenience.


Now I worked about 8 hours to install and configure (Coco)Aspell for LyX  
without acceptable result (and fear to have another 2, 3 hours to get rid  
of it).


First I installed CocoAspell, because in the LyX-wiki page vor Mac
http://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/Mac?from=LyX.LyXOnMac#toc4
it is said:
The easiest spellchecker to install is cocoAspell. CocoAspell provides an  
installation of aspell and a preferences pane for selecting and setting up  
dictionaries.


I did it. But LyX could not find it. LyX searched for:  
/opt/local/share/aspell/ngerman

which does not exist. (I want the spellchecker for German)

I installed Aspell with MacPorts. Same result. Only after putting in the  
path to one of the files de-common.dws or de-DE-only.dws in  
LyX-preferences | language | spellschecker it works. But in the way to  
suggest for each (btw correct) word a sample of words which have nothing

CocoAspell bug on Mac

[Shane White]

Installed Lyx version 1.6.2 and CocoAspell version 2.0.4 on Mac  
version 10.5.7


When spell checking a document in Lyx I couldn't add words to the  
dictionary.


After some web searching I discovered a fix is to comment the line  
home-dir $HOME/Library/Preferences/aspell in file /usr/local/etc/ 
aspell.conf
This fixed the problem but involved a lot of messing about as user  
root and altering permissions to allow me to edit this file.


Lyx and CocoAspell are excellent applications. I think the issue I've  
described is worth fixing.


Thanks,
Shane.

Re: cocoAspell works with Lyx in Tiger, not Leopard

[Richard Talley]

The cocoAspell installer puts cocoAspell.service into
~/Library/Services - that works fine on my machine with Tiger and a
single user.

For a multi-user machine under Leopard, that service needs to be
moved, by root, to /Library/Services

This solved my cocoAspell problems with Lyx and Skim on Leopard.

cocoAspell works with Lyx in Tiger, not Leopard

[Richard Talley]

Hello LyX-Users,

I installed MacTeX 2008, cocoAspell 2.0.4.i86,  Skim 1.2.1, and LyX
1.6.2 on an Intel Mac running Leopard (10.5.6).

I have almost exactly the same setup on my personal machine except
it's MacTeX 2007, Tiger (10.4.11) and, obviously, cocoAspell
2.0.4.ppc.

Works like a charm on my machine. On the Intel Mac, cocoAspell appears
to be installed correctly, it's available as a spelling service to
TextEdit, exactly the same path is in the Alternative language field
of Preferences: Language Settings: Spellchecker.

(the path is /Library/Application
Support/cocoAspell/aspell6-en-6.0-0/english.alias, as the Wiki
suggests.)

When I go to spellcheck on the Intel installation, LyX
does.absolutely nothing (other than showing (dialog-show
spellchecker: F7) in the status bar.) No error, no spell check dialog,
nothing.

I want to deploy this setup to a classroom of a couple of dozen Macs
in order to teach a short Why the power of LyX and TeX will save you
time and effort type class, but this one simple thing has turned into
a showstopper.

Any suggestions? Anybody on the list successfully using cocoAspell
with LyX on Leopard?

Here's another anomaly I just noticed. Although TextEdit is quite
happy to use the Aspell spelling service, when I try to set Skim to
use it, Skim complains with a Couldn't contact Spell Checker. That
gives me a hint that there is something not quite right with the
cocoAspell spelling service, but heck if I know what it is.

the installation or in using it?

LyX and cocoaspell

[Jordi Tritlla i Cambra]

Dear lyxers

	I am rather new to LyX on OSX (10.3.9). 
So far I managed quite well to get in everything 
in working order, starting to write my first 
paper using elsart. My only problem is that I 
cannot make cocoaspell work under LyX even making 
the symbolic link. I have follow the instruction 
in LyX wiki and I got this answer from Lyx:


Error: the file 
/usr/local/lib/aspell-0.60e/english can not be 
opened for reading


Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Jordi

Apparently I need to update the wiki to reflect better how to install 
cocoAspell (which is now done).


If you go to the cocoAspell site, you'll notice there that dictionaries 
must be downloaded and installed separately from 
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict. I believe you haven't yet done 
this, an that's why it's producing this error for you.


Let me know if that does the trick.

cocoAspell setup

[Marc Anthony Winoto]

I am having touble setting up cocoAspell on LyX for Mac. I followed the 
instructions on creating a symlink but obviously I got it wrong. Can 
someone show me what the parameters to ln -s should be?

Re: cocoAspell 1.4 LyX/Mac

[Marc Jeffrey Driftmeyer]

Does LyX-Qt/Mac have access to Panther's Spell checking service or does 
it rely upon Qt's spell-checking?

Did Anton Leuski rewrite the interfaces strictly in Objective-C and 
didn't include hooks into Carbon?

from the executable to /usr/local/bin and run aspell from the
terminal and/or from programs like emacs and LyX.  With the new
cocoAspell, the symbolic link works from the terminal, but it works
only intermittantly from emacs, and refuses to work with LyX/Mac.  

I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has a workaround for getting
the new cocoAspell to work with LyX/Mac.  Thanks,

CocoAspell and LyX?

[Petrus Hyvönen]

Dear all,

I believe i have seen somewhere a description of how to get CocoAspell to
work together with LyX/Aqua. Is it just to link cocoAspell to
/usr/local/bin/aspell or are there any tricks involved, like choosing
language, options and such?

Regards

The instructions used to be in the LyX/Mac howto at
http://www.18james.com/lyx_on_aqua.html.  I took them out because
cocoaAspell doesn't work with Panther (MacOS-10.3).  If you're running
MacOS-10.2 and don't plan to upgrade, try:

   cd /usr/local/bin 
   sudo mkdir share lib 
   sudo ln -s /Library/Services/cocoAspell.service/Contents/MacOS/cocoAspell aspell 
   cd share 
   sudo ln -s /Library/Services/cocoAspell.service/Contents/Resources/share/aspell
   cd ../lib 
   sudo ln -s /Library/Services/cocoAspell.service/Contents/Resources/lib/aspell

   If you installed cocoaAspell somewhere other than /Library, change
   the script accordingly.
