I tried to install stardict <snip>

The StarDict's development seems to be ended.


Five or more years ago when still enamored with Puppy Linux, I discovered that Puppy's PBDict was just a gooey GUI wrapper for the application dict. Deciding to forego the clumsy GUI and mouse, I started just issuing "dict foo" in a terminal. Since then, first with Arch, and Debian, dict is perhaps one of my most frequently used apps.

Another thing I did was to install dictionary databases locally, as I was virtually crippled when dict.org's servers were offline.

YMMV.
