Unhappy Problem with "dict"


I am facin prob with dictd server on my system.....

It was workin well until i installed new databases like german-english dictionary, devil, foldoc
on the system......

when i tried lookin up a word.....it didnt show nethin....was like it was in an infinite loop.....

then i looked at /etc/dictd/dictd.conf and /etc/dictd/dict.conf
i figured out from dict.conf that it was tryin to connect to dict.org and not localhost

to my surprise i found out that "dictd" daemon was not running....i tried startin it...but it didnt

so cud neone plzzz help me with this....i am confused
