Trouble with spell checking using external (system) directories in your 
build unfortunately continues in 3.1.1 build.
My ask for help loosely follows older discussion about location of 
dictionary files.
Citation from "How to set location of dictionary files" Petr Mladek

I have just upgraded to 3.1.1
I created the compatibility links:
ln -s /usr/share/dict/ooo /usr/share/hunspell
ln -s /usr/share/dict/ooo /usr/share/hyphen
ln -s /usr/share/dict/ooo /usr/share/mythes
and even
ln -s /usr/share/dict/ooo /usr/share/myspell

ls /usr/share/hunspell now gives me
cs_CZ.aff  dictionary.lst  en_GB.dic  en_US.dic       hyph_en_GB.dic  
th_cs_CZ.dat  th_cs_CZ_v2.dat@  th_en_GB_v2.dat@  th_en_US.dat  
th_en_US_v2.dat@
cs_CZ.dic  en_GB.aff       en_US.aff  hyph_cs_CZ.dic  hyph_en_US.dic  
th_cs_CZ.idx  th_cs_CZ_v2.idx@  th_en_GB_v2.idx@  th_en_US.idx  
th_en_US_v2.idx@

But still no spell checking for me : (

Problem is list in dialog Option - Language Settings -  Writing Aids  - 
Available language modules is empty for me!
There should be:
- Hunspell SpellChecker,
- Libhyphen Hyphenator
- OpenOffice.org New Thesaurus
But there is only an empty box in your build. Did I forgot to install 
some package from your repo? Is there any other incompatibility with 
Mandriva. Like hunspell library location?
I have hunspell (lib + bin) installed at:
 /usr/lib/libhunspell-1.2.so.0
 /usr/lib/libhunspell-1.2.so.0.0.0

Deleting (cleaning, renaming) of ~/.ooo3 does not help.

I would appreciate any help
Thank you
Jan
