So is it the tesaurus that is sometimes not installed on Linux? In windows
all the versions on Libreoffice including the release canditates supported
the synonym function on my WinXP and Win 7
There are packages in Debian testing you can install to add support for
quite a number of languages in LO. Synonyms would be language dependant,
so there isn´t much point in having to install all the packages for all
languages when there are languages you never use.

There´s the package "mythes-fr" that seems to provide the thesaurus for
French, for example. Since I don´t speak French, I don´t need it, and
not installing that package alone saves me about 2MB. There are
currently 15 thesauri, so I´m saving maybe 30MB. Same is for the
hyphenation packages ...

It´s not a great solution, though. Who would guess that they should
install a package called "mythes-fr" or "hyphen-fr" to get thesaurus and
hyphenation support for French in LO? At least the package names should
indicate that the packages are related to LO.

Is that the way to get OOo New Thesaurus? or is it something else?

This is a MySpell system and I have a Hunspell spellchecker installed. I download the .deb I found for the mythes-en files, and installed it. I did not see any difference. I did not reboot my Ubuntu 10.04 system though.
