After much wrestling with various 'dict' servers, without any success,
I've found an alternative solution which employs WordNet's dictionary.
Warning: it behaves weirdly with Icicles ('icy-mode').
Here we go:
- download WordNet dictionary setup from here:
http://wordnet.princeton.edu/wordnet/download/
- add binaries folder to exec-path and enviroment PATH (adjust paths
according to your own installation):
(setq exec-path (append exec-path "C:/Programmi/WordNet/2.1/bin"))
(setenv "PATH" (concat "C:\\Programmi\\WordNet\\2.1\\bin" path-
separator (getenv "PATH")))
- download http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/wn-org.el:
(require 'wn-org)
- ready to go: M-x wn-org-search
Cheers
