Spell checking not available

In a new memo, when I click on the spell check icon, I get an error dialog that says “Spell checking not available”. When I click on ok, I get a dialog that says "File ‘/opt/ibm/lotus/notes/ltsplxuk.so’ does not exist. When I click on ok, I’m returned back to the memo - so it never opens a spell checker.

I checked my spelling preferences and my dictionary is set to English US.

I’m on Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 32bit.

Subject: thanks for your feedback. we are looking into this.

will post update later.

Subject: Root cause: depend on libstdc++.so.5 which cannot be found in some machine.

Hello,

We are sorry that we did not include this info in the release note - you need to have this file “libstdc++.so.5” on your OS. When this file is missing, spelling, attachment, and some other features would not work.

The dependency on this specific file will be solved by final release.

Please let us know if your problem is not solved after the file is installed on your system.

Regards,

Yoshie Norton

Subject: Solved - spell checking - installed libstdc++.so.5

Thanks so much. That solved it!

Subject: Not that easy to get in Ubuntu

You have to add the Debian Repo to your spurce list and then search for the package.

http://packages.debian.org/etch/libstdc++5

If you are running Debian, it is strongly suggested to use a package manager like aptitude or synaptic to download and install packages, instead of doing so manually via this website.

You should be able to use any of the listed mirrors by adding a line to your /etc/apt/sources.list like this:

deb Index of /debian etch main

Replacing Index of /debian with the mirror in question.

Subject: For me it was easy

I launched Synaptic, searched for libstdc, found libstdc++5 on th list, marked it for install and applied. I’m running Hardy.

Here’s my sources.list:
