Description rblackeagle 2001-12-30 19:20:59 UTC 
On installing 641c, Autocheck marks all words of a document as misspelled.  A 
search shows that the dictioanries are installed in 
/root/OpenOffice.org641/../wordbook by ./setup -net.  There are no 
dictionaries at /home/<user>/OO641C/.../wordbook.  I tried to add words from 
my document and it didn't do anything when re-running Autocheck.  I tried to 
change the permissions for the dictionaries to permit user access and still 
got no response.

I copied the dictionary files to /home/<user>/OO641C/.../wordbook and changed 
ownership to user, reset the pointer for the dictionaries back to 
/home/<user>/OO641C/.../wordbook and it finally works fine.

This seems to be an error.

Hi,

I can receate this on my own system.  The issue here is that under a 
-net install there still exists a "user" subdirectory where the main 
OpenOffice.org files were initially installed.

The dictioanry files are incorrectly installed in that 
"user/wordbook" (at the main install site) and not the 
/home/USERID/OpenOffice.org641/user/wordbook site that the User 
Dictionary Path points to (and where I thought it would go).

So a change to the scp code is needed to make sure that correct 
"user/wordbook" location is used (the one that the USERID has writer 
permissions on).

I need to check with Hamburg if this is an installer issue or my bad 
scp patch.

Thanks for the bug report.

Hi,

scp patch sent to dev@porting.openoffice.org list in January so all 
should be well for the next release.

Thanks for your bug report.
