Customize Dict group - Junk at end of expression

Customize Dict group - Junk at end of expression

[Csanyi Pal]

Hi,

I have installed GNU Emacs 24.1.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
2.24.10) of 2012-07-05 on trouble, modified by Debian and dict
1.12.0/rf on Linux 3.2.0-3-amd64 on my Debian GNU/Linux testing/sid
system. 

I want to customize Dict Group and in it the variable
dict-databases:

which is now set to 'nil':
dict-databases: nil

I want to set it up to two dict databases:
fd-hun-eng
fd-eng-hun

but when I changed the 'nil' to:
dict-databases: fd-hun-eng fd-eng-hun

I get the message:
Saving dict-databases: Junk at end of expression: fd-eng-hun

I can't find a solution neither by Googling nor by reading the dictem
README file.

What is the solution for this problem?

It is my fault that that I think I want to customize the 'Dict' group.
I should to customize the 'dictem' group, but on my system I haven't
the 'dictem' group!!

Indeed! I tried that because when I try the command bellow
M-x customize-group <RET> dict TAB
to complete the groupname and find 'dictem' I get only

Customize-group (default emacs): Dict

and a message:
Click <mouse-2> on a completion to select it.
In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point.

Possible completions are:
Dict
dictionary
dictionary-group

so I haven't 'dictem' group!!

And when I try the command bellow:

M-x customize-group <RET> dictem <RET>

I get message:
Customize-group (default emacs): dictem [No match]

I wish to do that but can't, see abowe.

Why I haven't the 'dictem' group to customize it?
