[Bug 880676] Re: LyX spellchecker doesn't work in the Ubuntu repository version

 

The problem with hunspell seems to persist in ubuntu 14.04 and lyx
2.0.8.1. I have installed enchant as well as hunspell, but I cannot
insert the path to hunspell (field and button are grey). The only
possible spellchecker is enchant. But, enchant seems to work after I sat
language to Danish in document setting  and general settings, and marked
"spellchecking continously" as well. But, I had to run tools >
reconfigure before it worked.

Title:
  LyX spellchecker doesn't work in the Ubuntu repository version

Status in lyx package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If I install LyX from the Ubuntu repo, I can only select enchant as a
  spellchecker, other options, including hunspell, are greyed despite
  the fact that they are installed properly. What is more, enchant does
  not seem to work. If I compile LyX from the sources, however,  I can
  choose hunspell and everything works fine (with version 2.0.0 as well
  as 2.0.1). The problem applies to Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10.
