Re: [gentoo-user] [OT]:Evolution/OpenOffice spell checking not working

["Ric de France" <rdefrance@gmail.com>]

Mark,

There's some dictionaries you've got to include to allow for the spell
check to work in OO.o... From memory, try:

# emerge -DNuva aspell-en
# emerge -DNuva hunspell

I'm sure there's more to include, but I can't remember them. Don't
forget to restart OO.o to pick up the new dictionaries...

To see all the available dictionaries, try:

# emerge -s spell

HTH,

...Ric
