    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.
