Help with dict-client in Lenny?
Hi. I've two Lenny boxes, both pretty much hand-crafted (as in no "Desktop Environment" on install; I startx into fluxbox). On one of them, dict-client works as expected. It brings the result up in a pager. In the other box, no pager. It just dumps it to stdout. How do I change this, or track down the problem? I've looked at bugs.debian.org, the manpage, googled "dict pager site:lists.debian.org", I can't see anything pertinent in /etc/dictd. I have no ~/.dict*. Thanks. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
