Sorry it took so long to find your reply; seems to happen to me a lot.
This was useful, thanks.  /etc/dictd/dict.conf contains:

# pager most
server localhost 
server dict.org
server dict0.us.dict.org
server alt0.dict.org

I uncomment the pager line and get:

/etc/dictd/dict.conf:17: syntax error, unexpected TOKEN_STRING, expecting TOKEN_SERVER
/etc/dictd/dict.conf:17: pager most
/etc/dictd/dict.conf:17: ^^^^^
dict (yyerror): parse error


most is installed.

Again, thanks.
