Dictionaries in Openoffice 2.4 can't install

I'm trying to install dictionaries for openoffice 2.4 but when I click the guide "Install extra dictionaries..." the dicooo.swx (version 1.8) starts and I choose my language and click install but then I get an error stating "non-allowed value or datatype. Datatype not joinable". Same error I'm getting when trying install Dmaths 3.1. I read somewhere that the error is caused by hunspell. Is this fixed yet?

Regards

I don't know if you upgraded your system recently, but the last version of OOo does not have this problem anymore. It used to do the same thing to me before I updated. A little

pacman -Syu

should help.

Yes did already. I have latest version of openoffice and I still can't install dictionaries or Dmaths 3.1.

Well. I tried reinstalling the package, but it did nothing (by the way, I now have the same problem as you do).

It did work well when I first upgraded the package, though.

Re: Dictionaries in Openoffice 2.4 can't install

In my opinion this function always have been pretty flaky. In a sense it doesn't matter since you always can download necessary files from: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries

That's what I usually do. Extract the package in /opt/openoffice/share/dict/ooo and add the necessary lines to the dictionary.lst. Maybe this isn't how it's supposed to be done, I don't know, but it works well.

By the way: yes I do get the same error if trying the automated guide.
