Yes, that's what I've been doing so far, but I also wanted to understand the sense index (http://wordnet.princeton.edu/wordnet/man/senseidx.5WN.html) a bit better, and to be able to use other libraries to access WordNet. >> The man page accessed by entering "man wn" at the >> Terminal refers to the WNHOME and WNSEARCHDIR environment variables. >> However, neither "echo $WNHOME" nor "echo $WNSEARCHDIR" yields any >> result. > > You shouldn't need to set those (I didn't), but if you do: > > WNHOME=/opt/local/share/WordNet-3.0 > WNSEARCHDIR=/opt/local/share/WordNet-3.0/dict I appreciate that the "wn" command works without these being set, but other libraries do seem to expect them to be set, so thank you for confirming what they should be. In any case, shouldn't MacPorts set them automatically (and, presumably, also unset them if MacPorts is later used to uninstall WordNet)?
