This makes sense to me. If you don't have read permissions on the dictionary (en-US.dic or whatever), then how could you properly use the spell checker? Through the mozdev site (http://dictionaries.mozdev.org/), I was able to find the OpenOffice page that contains all the dictionaries in .zip format. I downloaded http://ftp.services.openoffice.org/pub/OpenOffice.org/contrib/dictionaries/en_GB.zip and inflated it. It came out with 644 permissions. I believe all the dictionaries on http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/spell_dic.html are the same ones used by the myspell component in Mozilla. Richard, maybe you could download that zip and check if the en_GB.aff and en_GB.dic files are the same as those from the .xpi. If so, maybe it would be as easy as inflating the zip files into the appropriate directory during the build to have all the dictionaries you want in the global directory. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
