Description Joe Mills 2007-04-26 13:38:08 UTC

I've just reinstalled openoffice-2.1.0-r1 and found all dictionary and language functions are not working.  I enabled LINGUAS="en" and rebuilt and still no language pack was installed.

I installed the appropriate myspell dictionary and everything works fine so I believe that the ebuild might need some looking into.

Thanks all.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install openoffice-2.1.0-r1 without a myspell installation. 
2. Open OOo and try to use any language function, no dictionary installed.
3. Rebuild with same results.

Actual Results:  
No dictionary support

Expected Results:  
A fresh install or rebuild with dictionary support

I don't quite understand, what your problem here is, the ebuild is not supposed to install the dictionaries by itself, you have to install the appropiate myspell dictionary for your language yourself. That's actually what the ebuild tells you to do at the end of the merge process:

"Spell checking is now provided through our own myspell-ebuilds, if you want to use it, please install the correct myspell package according to your language needs. "

Ah... that would be my problem.  Since I did my openoffice emerge with a bunch of other packages, I did not read that.

My bad, sorry.  I'll mark the bug as invalid.  Thanks for your time.
