    Platform: SuSE 8.2
    gcc-3.3
    I have these packages installed:
    expat-1.95.6-11
    aspell-0.50.2-74
    aspell-devel-0.50.2-74

    Hi:
     I have compiled and installed Abiword 1.0.5 however I cannot get the
    spellcheck to work. To compile it I did:

    $ ./autogen.sh
    $ ./configure --with-expat --enable-debug
    $ make

    then as root

    # make install

    When I try to do a spellcheck, I get the following splash:

    "Could not load the dictionary for the en-US language"

    I have installed the abispell-en-US.i386.tar and the american.hash and
    american.hash-encoding are in /usr/share/AbiSuite/dictionary/

    I get this debug output when I do a spellcheck:

    DEBUG: ut_unixTimer.cpp: timer destructor
    DEBUG: beginning spelling check...
    DEBUG: modal spell dialog: xp init complete
    DEBUG: Attempting to load en_US
    DEBUG: SpellCheckInit: Pspell error: No word lists can be found for the
    language "en_US".
    DEBUG: spelling check complete.

    I also did a find:
    linux:/ # find . -type f -name "en_US*"

    and it only found dictionaries for OpenOffice; namely:
    /opt/OpenOffice.org/share/dict/ooo/en_US.aff
    ./opt/OpenOffice.org/share/dict/ooo/en_US.dic

    Can anyone tell me the name of the dictionary I am missing and where it should
    be installed ? Is it supposed to be en_US.xml ?

                                            TIA
                                            Jonathan
