Install this dictionary/thesaurus.  If it gives you a thesaurus back, 
then it is a problem with 3.6.0's thesaurus.  If it does not, then 
something is wrong with the system itself.  Also try renaming the 
".libreoffice" hidden folder to see if by the package generating a new 
one it gives you back your thesaurus.

I do have other version of English, if American English is not what you 
need, plus over 180 other dictionaries, thesaurus, etc., in the 
dictionary list.

Also, Artha is the best offline definition and thesaurus package I know 
of, but it is easier to have on inside LO.  Artha will give you more 
info than LO's system might for the thesaurus, though.  The key for me 
is the fact that is it an "offline" package so you do not need to have 
the package look up the needed search at some web site to give you the 
results.  I include it with the current NA-DVD package as one of the 
"Extras".
