[SOLVED] Install Swiss German (de_CH) dictionary in Hunspell

I'm trying to get spell checking in emacs and in the background Hunspell is used.

I have the following dictionaries installed (output of "hunspell -D"):
```
SEARCH PATH:
.::/usr/share/hunspell:/usr/share/myspell:/usr/share/myspell/dicts:/Library/Spelling:/home/gianl/.openoffice.org/3/user/wordbook:/home/gianl/.openoffice.org2/user/wordbook:/home/gianl/.openoffice.org2.0/user/wordbook:/home/gianl/Library/Spelling:/opt/openoffice.org/basis3.0/share/dict/ooo:/usr/lib/openoffice.org/basis3.0/share/dict/ooo:/opt/openoffice.org2.4/share/dict/ooo:/usr/lib/openoffice.org2.4/share/dict/ooo:/opt/openoffice.org2.3/share/dict/ooo:/usr/lib/openoffice.org2.3/share/dict/ooo:/opt/openoffice.org2.2/share/dict/ooo:/usr/lib/openoffice.org2.2/share/dict/ooo:/opt/openoffice.org2.1/share/dict/ooo:/usr/lib/openoffice.org2.1/share/dict/ooo:/opt/openoffice.org2.0/share/dict/ooo:/usr/lib/openoffice.org2.0/share/dict/ooo
AVAILABLE DICTIONARIES (path is not mandatory for -d option):
/usr/share/hunspell/en_US-large
/usr/share/hunspell/en_US
/usr/share/myspell/dicts/en_US-large
/usr/share/myspell/dicts/en_US
```

Now I'd like to install the de_CH dictionary but I can't find any documentation on how to do this.

It looks like hunspell/de_CH is part of the hunspell-de package. Have you installed that package?

(edit) snaked again.
