After reading some of the comments here, I re-synced, unmerged Ooo, and emerged openoffice and hunspell. I already had the myspell-en build. The result: a clean compile, as near as I can tell, but useless. Now it quits silently a second or so into any startup, with or without a filename on the command line. No message on the terminal where I start it, and no clue I can see about what's wrong. I'm back to MSOffice. I hate it but it works. -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD
