I've installed version 1.02 of AbiWord on Mandrake 8.1 using an RPM from the Ximian website. I uninstalled version 0.92 of AbiWord (the one that shipped with Mandrake 8.1) and, following previous advice on this list, deleted the .AbiSuite directory from my home directory. I installed AbiWord 1.02 without any problems but could not get the spellchecker to work, with the language set to English (UK) or English (US). Each time the program returned the message "Could not load the dictionary for the XXX language". So I downloaded the abispell-en-GB rpm from SourceForge and installed that. I selected English (UK) as my language, but again the spellcheck facility in AbiWord reported that it was unable to load the dictionary (in this case the en-GB dictionary). I have verified that the british.hash file is in the /usr/share/AbiSuite/dictionary directory.
Any advice on how to resolve this problem would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Chris Abrams. ----------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
