Installing a DICT server, OS X

[Navdeep B. <ba...@ma...>]

I recently bought a copy of OS X and have been unable to get a DICT server up and running.

When following the instructions included with dictd 1.5.5(the only version I could find, your FTP server isn't working correctly, both Internet Explorer and Anarchie are unable to parse the returned file listings) I get the following error:

checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess host type; you must specify one

How do I specify one? and what should I specify?
If it isn't obvious already, I'm new to Unix systems.

I also tried running jdictd and got the following error:

The jar file "jdictd.jar" couldn't be launched. It probably doesn't contain a "Main-Class" definition in the manifest. To be able to launch this jar, you will need to add one.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
