Hi, You should just need fop-hyph.jar which you can get from http://offo.sourceforge.net/hyphenation/fop-stable/installation.html
The installation just involves putting this in the lib directory and the fop command will place it in the classpath. Also, make sure that the build.properties (or build-local.properties) does not declare the user.hyph.dir property - you may have uncommented this declaration whilst trying to get things working.
