Hi all,
after installing RedHat9 with Slinky 0.3.97-vumbox I get the follwoing 
problem. Immediatly after tayping Abiword, it trys to spellcheck the 
first word  (which is ok) and then complains that "Could not load the 
dictionary for the en-US language". Actually I can not find file *.hash, 
even the directory /usr/share/Abisuite/dictionary does not exist. Due to 
the Abiword-Help the *.hash-Files should remain in this directory.

In a second try I downloaded the french and british dictionary from the 
Abiword-Homepage in rpm-format. Installing the rpm-files was straight 
forward, they are now in the directory /usr/share/Abisuite/dictionary 
but setting the language to "French (France)" and trying to spellcheck 
gives "Could not load the dictionary for the fr-FR language".

Interesting thing: On my workstaion, which is installed with the normal 
RedHed CD (Shrike) I do not have any of these problems. The en_US 
spellcheck works right away after install, and the french one, 
immediatly after installing the dictionary-rpm.

Any idea? How does a slinky-installed Abiword differ from a normal 
RedHat-installed?

Thanks in advance, Ingo.
