Hi guys, I have to report successful installation of you OOo build on
Mandriva Spring 2009.1. Great job!
Well I had to remove ~/.ooo3 directory as it crashed ooo on start but
after that it works nicely.
I'm especially delighted that your version provides KDE integration;
Mandriva official version does not.
Everything works except spell checking. No dictionary is recognized
after a fresh install.
I have my dictionaries in /usr/share/dict/ooo, which seems to be a
standard location shared (potentially) more applications.
There is dictionary.lst and all *.dic, *.idx and *.aff files for en_US,
en_GB and cs_CZ.
In Mandriva's ooo build this location is honoured and spellchecking works.
In your ooo build (Go-oo 3.1 from go-oo.mirrorbrain.org) a different
location is used and it is quite hard to guess which.
So please how can I set go-oo to recognize /usr/share/dict/ooo directory?
Should I create a symbolic link to usr/share/dict/ooo? But from where!
Thank you
Jan
P.S.
Why there is no option to set dictionary path in Options ->
OpenOffice.org -> Paths. It seems to be such a suitable place!
The /usr/share/dict/ooo is shared (at least) with Firefox. Firefox
/usr/share/dict/mozilla contains just links to /usr/share/dict/ooo.
