I had a similar problem getting extra language dictionaries. The folks in #openoffice.org at irc.openprojects.org were very helpful.
In Mandrake, we just need the appropriate myspell packages to be installed, so make sure that the corresponding myspell package for the language you are looking for (presumably English) is installed. For example: myspell-en_US-1.0.1-0.20020626.4mdk.noarch.rpm I find that if I have a program the should be working but isn't, sometimes a forced upgrade of that programs helps if the program was improperly installed without my knowledge. Running rpm -Uvh --force myspell-en_US-1.0.1-0.20020626.4mdk.noarch.rpm from a console as root (assuming that file is in my local directory) has resolved problems like this for me. I hope this helps. Also, make sure that you have the proper dictionary chosen in Tools->Options->Language Settings->Languages Hope this helps. - Paul On Tue, 2002-11-19 at 14:55, Malcolm Candlish wrote: > Hello, > > Can any one suggest a method of getting OO Spell Checker in Mandrake 9.0 > working. > > I have looked around without finding information, except at > www.openoffice.org from whence I downloaded > 'OOodi-static-0.55-0.i386.rpm'.
