@
CupofDice: I installed OpenSUSE 11.2 (with KDE 4.3) fresh in a virtual machine and tried searching for packages 'wordnet', 'wordnet-devel', 'libwordnet-devel' using the command
and all of them returned a "
'package' not found" message. It is to be noted that the WordNet package is not yet available in the OpenSUSE official repositories. It's currently in their wishlist only (
http://en.opensuse.org/Wishlist_Various); so wordnet cannot be installed from OpenSUSE's repositories with a single command; one has to install it from source.
So I downloaded WordNet's tarball from Princeton's site (
http://wordnetcode.princeton.edu/3.0...et-3.0.tar.bz2) and tried compiling its source; but for building WordNet from source, Tcl and Tk development headers are required (as told by WordNet build system). Hence I installed them by . Then I was able to successfully build and install WordNet (tried running command 'wnb' and searched some random terms in the thesaurus for which results got returned properly. Finally, I installed Artha from source (
http://sourceforge.net/projects/arth...r.bz2/download). It worked fine the very first time; search returned results normally as it should.
I can see that you've installed Artha from source properly; but I'm skeptical of your WordNet installation. Can you please tell how you installed WordNet in your machine?
