>Description:
With enchant as spell checker lyx-devel does not spell check any word. All words are marked as correct.
I use lyx-devel-2.0.0.r1 and enchant-1.6.0.
I solved this problem by commenting a check out that evaluates to false, even if the dictionary exists. I do not why this check fails since the code seems to be a 1:1 copy out of the enchant API documentation.
However - without the check lyx spellchecking works as expected.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install lyx-devel, enable the enchant option with make config, install enchant and a dictionary and try spell checking a document out of lyx
