Hello All,
I just came across a blog [1] that mentioned about the off-line
dictionary setup in Ubuntu. I tried doing similar in Fedora but
failed. So the point for which I'm here looking for help is that
though I've been able to 'yum install wordnet dictd', and I'm able to
query wordnet [2] in its graphical window using
#wnb
but when i'm trying to start my local dict daemon so as to map wordnet
under gnome-dictionary its fails simply saying that 'no dictionaries
installed'.
----------------------------------------------
$ sudo service dictd restart
Shutting down dictd: [FAILED]
Starting dictd: no dictionaries installed [FAILED]
$
----------------------------------------------
I have googled a bit but have not been able to find a solution. Also
came across [3] but that to didn't helped as the server is not coming
up. Though the client side of dict is working for me [4].
Any help that makes this work would be great.

This link works fine for me.
Have you installed the dictionaries?
# rpm
-ivhftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-tcousin/suse82/noarch/RPMS.Thibaut/dictd-dictionaries-1.0-2.noarch.rpm
--noscripts
# service dictd start
Starting dictd: [ OK ]

Susmit.
first of all , thanks for the response. I did tried searching for
available dictionaries using
$ sudo yum search dictionaries
and it did listed a good count of them. The question still remains that
why is 'wordnet' not considered, when 'dict' client does lists it in
results why is the daemon failing to load/consider it.
