Relative Newbie With Spell Checking Problem (Problem 2).

[Brian Durant]

Hi again. I am looking for a way to spell check in
Danish in OpenOffice.org. I understand that the spell
checking is based on MySpell, but there is no .deb
package that I can find anywhere (why is that???). I
have found a MySpell RPM and source version (???) at
http://da.speling.org/ The URL of the file location is
at http://da.speling.org/filer/ but I am unsure what
to do and what file to use. I see that alien is
included in Ubuntu, so in theory I could use the RPM
version, but whether I use source or RPM, I am unsure
how this will affect Ubuntu as it largely uses its own
special packages, if I understood correctly. So far, I
have only installed a Danish spell check for ASpell
(Evolution), from universal and it hasn't had any
adverse effects.

Also, I would like to install StarDict
http://stardict.sourceforge.net/ I know StarDict isn't
a spell checker, but hey it has something to do with
languages. As with the Danish MySpell dictionary,
there is no .deb package.  Having never used alien
before, how do I use it and will installing RPMs
adversely affect my Ubuntu system?

Cheers,

Brian
