how to configure dictionary.el

how to configure dictionary.el

[François Patte]

Bonjour,

I try to use the dictionary package, but I fail!

dictd is running on my machine.

I tried to follow instructions there:

http://www.myrkr.in-berlin.de/dictionary/installation.html

But if I ask to search a word:

M-x dictionary-search

I get this answer:

 Autoloading failed to define function dictionary-search

I have no idea about what to do....

Thanks for helping.

How exactly did you install it?

BTW, if your Emacs version is not too old, the easiest installation
method today is probably via M-x package-list-packages.

Thanks for answering. I could solve the problem: my emacs (24.3) was
installed from a debian install and --- as it often happens with debian
--- the package dictionary was obsolete... I installed a new one and
could get this config working.

Thanks.
