[SOLVED] LibreOffice did not auto correct anything on Fedora 17

Hi everybody

I have a fresh new installation of Fedora 17. After that I installed LibreOffice with

Code:

yum groupinstall "Office/Productivity"

After that Installation the table/list in Tools -> AutoCorrct Options -> Replace is completely empty (I've tried this in english and german fedora installation). In other LibreOffice installations (other Linux, Windows, Mac) this list is not empty.

Do I have to install another packet which contains this list?

By the way: I've checked that a language is set in LibreOffice

Kind regards

I found a solution (but not the reason why...)

The auto corrections are in files in a directory (starting in the libreoffice directory) share/autocorr
In fedora the files are in /usr/share/autocorr
So setting in link in the directory solves the problem:

Code:

ln -s ../../../share/autocorr/ /usr/lib64/libreoffice/share/autocorr

This is of course for the 64bit version of fedora!

Maybe you have to delete the settings-directory of the user: ~/.config/libreoffice/3/user/autocorr/*

(But why does the fedora people put the autocorrection to /usr/share/autocorr ?)
