Exit 1 I looked though the system and found the following en_US dictionaries: /usr/local/lib/firefox/dictionaries/ /usr/local/lib/libxul/dictionaries/ /usr/local/lib/linux-libgtkembedmoz/components/myspell/ I tried specifying one as the path (hunspell -p /usr/local/lib/firefox/dictionaries/ -d en_US, but it then said: Can't open affix or dictionary files for dictionary named "en_US". (Got the same message for "-d en-US") I have no idea why it can't open these files. They are present and readable. In any case, I am at a loss on how to make hunspell work. -- R.
