Hi all,
I'm having an issue with the Abiword package in 4.0. It seems to
work fine except for the dictionary issue I am posting about.
Essentially, with "Check Spelling As You Type" enabled, the
following error appears after the first word is typed:
"Could not load the dictionary for the English (US) [en-US] language"
In my attempts to resolve the issue, I came across this:

I did attempt to create the symlinks referenced in the thread, but
to no avail... in fact the referenced files aren't there to link to.
So I'm simply wondering if someone more savvy about AbiWord, or
this issue, can point me in the right direction.
Any advice will be appreciated. dmesg follows:
After spending most of my day on this I have managed to resolve the
issue. I installed the ispell package, and created a symlink in the /
usr/local/share/AbiSuite-2.4/dictionary directory to the ispell
dictionary (in my case /usr/local/lib/ispell/american.hash) .
According to this bit from the abiword-dev archive it's an endian
problem, or was at the time... either way this solution works
perfectly so I'm in business.

Anyhow I just figured I'd post my success here in case it might be
helpful for someone else....
