Yes, I'm aware of that I need to choose one of those. I guess what I'm
having problems with, is figuring out where the <language>.dict file
comes from.
I didn't find any such file in the rpm downloaded from the links at
http://ficus-www.cs.ucla.edu/geoff/ispell.html#ftp-sites and also not in
the inorwegian-package in the ubuntu apt repository.
I have read through
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/textsearch.html, but it's
not quite clear to me, from that, what I need to do, to use an ispell
dictionary with tsearch.
