Solaris 11 x86, OO 3.4.0 - Spellchecker

Post by YTC1 »

I've been through the various tutorials etc, and nothing I see or try will get the spell checker working (UK and US English).

I note there is no Hunspell to "check" in the Tools->Options->Language Settings

Is this the reason ?

If so, how do get the Hunspell in place ?

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Have you checked if the extension was installed? See [Troubleshooting] Spell check in OOo 3.x.
If you don't have the Hunspell, it may be a problem with the installation. How have you installed it?

There is no sign of it in the extensions.
It was installed with pkgadd, I'll rerun and see if something was missed

No, it re-installed 2 Complaints about SUNWpython and SUNWzlib being needed, but pkg list shows these are installed in S11

Have you tried to download an extension and to install it?

Yes, I downloaded the English US, but no difference.

During spellcheck the language is blank.

I may see if I can find an older version on one of my other systems and install that.

It is very frustrating the lack of Solaris support since the AOO/LibreOffice split :-(

Rather strange because there have been some messages about the Solaris version on the AOO dev mailing list.
You should ask the dev directly, see http://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-li ... ist-public

Ok, will do. In the meantime I have reverted to 3.3 which works fine
