LyX ⇒ LyX 2.0.1 Spell Checker fails on Ubuntu 10.04

[xrobbo]

Hello everybody,

I've installed LyX 2.0.1 after having downgraded from Ubuntu 11.10 to 10.04. Everything is fine except that the spell checker does not work. Libraries are correctly installed but I cannot access the command and there is not possibility to spell check in any language. I'm quite hopeless because the only way to have the spell check working is downgrading to LyX 1.6. But then I will no more be able to access all the files edited with LyX 2.0.1. Anybody has an answer for that?

Thanks in advance for any suggestion to take me out of this trouble!

Spell checker can be enabled by the following way.

1. Install libaspell-dev, libpspell-dev, libhunspell-dev, libenchant-dev
2. configure, make, make install lyx 2.x.x

This worked for me.
