Either Qstardict is insane, or I am.
I did everything humanly possible to get it see dics.
And finally i got my answer, it uses incompatible library libstardict.so
Crap!

Here it's same problem: when clicking on the wrench tool nothing happens.
I switched to mstardict, with excellent results! ;-)

Then do
Code:
mkdir -p ~/.stardict/dic
(only needed the first time you install a dictionary) followed by
Code:
tar xzvf dictionary.tar.gz -C ~/.stardict/dic
(where "dictionary" should be replaced by the actual name of the dictionary/-ies that you downloaded.

However, with the more common tarballs of the form dictionary.tar.bz2
you should do the following instead of the tar command given in the wiki, because the "j" option for tar is not implemented in Maemo:
Code:
bunzip2 dictionary.tar.bz2
tar xvf dictionary.tar -C ~/.stardict/dic
For this you need to have the "bzip2" package installed, which is in nokia-applications. It was already installed in my case, perhaps brought in by some other app. To install it yourself from XTerminal, in case it's missing, you need to have the "rootsh" app installed, which allows you to do
Code:
sudo apt-get install bzip2
.


Thanks [COLOR="Black"]Thank you for your assistance..

I got stuck after the above step and the xternal returns a message "tar: can't open `dictionary.tar.gz`.

I bank on your assistance

Thanks

If you've successfully installed one such dictionary, repeat the two-line "bunzip2 ..., tar ..." stanza for any further one you find on the web. This can also be done in one line:
Code:
bzcat dictionary.tar.bz2 | tar xv -C ~/.stardict/dic
Finally, to enable/disable dictionaries, go to Menu/Config->Dictionaries in qstardict. "V" stands for a check mark for activated dictionaries, "0" for disabled ones, and to change that you have to click on the tiny blob at the start of a line.
Hi thank you for the suport.
I got this error when I entered the bunzip2 dictionary.tar.bz2 command. bunzip2: not found.

I have installed the rootsh
I appreciate ur response

Thanks Zimon,

I want to find out if the step is applicable for the qstardict?

I have tried and got stuck here

1) after command 10, it returns a message (-sh: In: not found)

What can I do to overcome that?
