lookup for Debian ----------------- The default directory of dictionaries and index files is /var/lib/lookup. lookup needs configuration file ~/.lookup. /usr/share/doc/lookup/dot-lookup is a sample .lookup file. Index files are generated at installing time. When some dictionary is updated, you can remake its index file with /usr/sbin/lookupconfig DICTIONARY_NAME or rebuild all index files with /usr/sbin/lookupconfig If you want to try some unofficial patches to lookup, you should take a look at William F.
