Dear all,
I was unable to install offline dictionary in ubuntu 9.10
I performed the following steps in order to do this:
(1) sudo apt-get install dictd
sudo apt-get install dict-gcide
sudo apt-get install dict-moby-thesaurus
(2) Go to Application>Office>Dictionary> open the dictionary
(3) Edit>(right click)Preference>Source>Add>
(4) Now enter the following:
Description: Local Dictionary
Transport: <Unchanged>
Hostname: localhost
Port: <unchanged>
(5) Add>Source>Local Dictionary(select)>Close

Next time when I open the dictionary and search for a word definition, it gives the following error:
Error while looking up definition
Connection failed to the dictionary server at localhost:2628

Any help will be appreciated......

use 127.0.0.1 as hostname instead of using localhost.
