Spellchecking fails in OpenOffice 2



After building the Debian source for over 10 hours on my AMD
Sempron 2500+ and using up nearly 10GB of hard disk space, I now
have OpenOffice 2 up and running. The only problem is that
spellchecking no longer works (i.e., it used to work under
OpenOffice 1.X).

I have the following spellchecking-related packages installed:
"myspell-en-us", "libmyspell3c2", "openoffice.org-hunspell" and
"hunspell."

Surprisingly, I could access the OpenOffice thesaurus. Moreover,
spellchecking does work under Emacs and the various Gnome and KDE
applications I have, including AbiWord and Konqueror.

However, running "hunspell" (which is maintained by the Debian
OpenOffice Team) returns the following error: "Can't open affix
or dictionary files." 

The hunspell man page point to two files that are absent from my
system:

/usr/share/default.aff
/usr/share/default.dic 

What other package may I be I missing?
