Date: Sat, 21 Jan 2006 15:01:50 +0800 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Return-path: Sender: linux-newbie-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-newbie@vger.kernel.org Hello, guys! Those days, I installed dictd-1.9.15.tar.gz and some dictionary database at the same time. Lastly, binary "dictd" and "dict" were installed in the directory "/usr/local/sbin" and "/usr/local/bin" respectively. Below are my "/etc/dictd.conf" and "/etc/dict.conf"(dict.conf is as the same as ~/.dictrc): **************************************** $ cat /etc/dictd.conf access { allow localhost allow 127.0.0.1 } database web1913 { data "/usr/lib/dict/web1913.dict.dz" index "/usr/lib/dict/web1913.index" } database wn { data "/usr/lib/dict/wn.dict.dz" index "/usr/lib/dict/wn.index" } database gazetteer { data "/usr/lib/dict/gazetteer.dict.dz" index "/usr/lib/dict/gazetteer.index" } **************************************** $ cat /etc/dict.conf server localhost server dict.org **************************************** **************************************** Next, I ran the command "/usr/local/sbin/dictd". But I did not find it in the procedure list. I also ran the command "dict zoo -c ~/.dictrc -h localhost". But terminal told me: Cannot connect to any servers (use -v to see why) If I ran the command "dict zoo", terminal gave me the explanation of "zoo". I am confused.
