274 | http://www.gnu.org.ua/software/dico for a description of GNU Dico, including | 274 | |
275 | links to download. | 275 | The package also provides a loadable module which allows to use GCIDE with |
276 | 276 | the dictionary server. | |
277 | The instructions below describe how to configure GNU Dico server (dicod) to | 277 | |
278 | access a copy of the GCIDE dictionary. | 278 | See http://www.gnu.org.ua/software/dico for more information, including |
279 | 279 | links to download and documentation. | |
280 | 1. Unpack the GCIDE dictionary; | ||
281 | |||
282 | 2. Copy the file "gcide.conf" to a directory where you keep your local | ||
283 | configuration files (/etc or /usr/local/etc are usual choices). | ||
284 | |||
285 | 3. Replace the word GCIDE_PATH in the "gcide.conf" statement with the path | ||
286 | to the gcide-0.51 dicrectory. You can omit this step and use the -D option | ||
287 | instead: | ||
288 | |||
289 | 4. Check the configuration file. Run: | ||
290 | dicod --config /path/to/gcide.conf --lint | ||
291 | If you skipped the step 3, supply the -D option with the acual path to | ||
292 | the dictionary. For example, if you copied "gcide.conf" to /etc and | ||
293 | unpacked GCIDE to /usr/local, then run: | ||
294 | dicod --config /etc/gcide.conf -D GCIDE_PATH=/usr/local --lint | ||
295 | If no errors are reported, then go to the step 5. | ||
296 | |||
297 | 5. Start "dicod". Run the same command as described in step 4, but without | ||
298 | the "--lint" option. This will start the dictionary server which will be | ||
299 | avaialble on localhost (127.0.0.1) port 2628. The server provides extensive | ||
300 | searching facilities. It also parses the GCIDE markup and automatically | ||
301 | reformats the articles before returning them. | ||
302 | |||
303 | Now you can access the dictionary using dico (a GNU dictionary command line | ||
304 | utility), or another dictionary client program (such as Kdict or the like). | ||
