localhost dictionaries for dictd

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi folks,

On archlinux, as Chris pointed out, the AUR contains scripts for
building local dictionaries for dictd. The two I wanted were called
dictd-web1913 for the Webster Collaborative International Dictionary,
and dictd-wn for wordnet. However, the former needed the actual
dictionary files from ftp.dict.org which is not accepting connections,
and the latter did not build successfully although no build-time
dependencies were missing.

So, anybody have any better ideas for locating suitable dictionaries
with which to populate my localhost? What about those already on my
system in /usr/share/dict? I tried symlinking /usr/lib/dict to
/usr/share/dict without success, and tried copying the contents of
/usr/share/dict to /usr/lib/dict, also with no success.

I'm glad dict.org is available again, but I'd like to avoid
intgerruption of service with local dictionaries if possible
