Hi, folks.
After two successive failures trying to install a dictionary, I have to ask
you for some guidance.
I downloaded an apparently useful dictionary/thesaurus from
http://www.cogsci.princeton.edu/~wn/
Its docs say it runs on Solaris, Irix and Linux.
Although I have other dictionaries, I think the more I have, the better.
I unpacked the tar ball, read the install file and the make file and altered
the latter to suit my system (MDK 9.1). Then, as root, I installed it but it
didn't work at all. In the makefile I choose /usr/local/bin as the path.
There are some changes and options which are not very clear to me and that's
why I think I better show the makefile options.

# Makefile for both source and binary distribution of WordNet 2.0
#######################################################################
#
# The WordNet Unix release is provided as a binary installation for
# the following platforms:
#
# SPARCstation running Solaris 7
# Silicon Graphics Mips processor running Irix 6.8.3
# PC running Redhat Linux
#
# If you are using one of these systems, you should select the the
# appropriate PLATFORM below, and use the 'make BinWorld' command to
# install WordNet from the pre-compiled binaries. Check the settings
# below first to make sure everything is installed where you want it.
#
# This package also includes the source code for the WordNet library
# and interfaces. If you plan on building your own WordNet application,
# or are running on a platform other than those listed above, you
# will have to read the comments below under "Platform specific stuff"
# and make the appropriate selections and changes for your system.

#######################################################################
##### Settings for binary installation on Solaris, Irix, or Linux
##### and source code build.
# To perform a binary installation, make the appropriate settings
# in this section. You also need to do this if you're going to
# compile WordNet from source.
# Platform for binary installation. If you are using one of the
# following operating systems you do not have to compile the package.
#PLATFORM = solaris
#PLATFORM = irix
PLATFORM = linux
# The WordNet system must be installed in a directory hierarchy.
# WN_ROOT is the root of the WordNet installation hierarchy.
# The default is /usr/local/WordNet-2.0. If you want to install
# WordNet 2.0 in a different directory, change WN_ROOT below.
# Note that you must have write permissions for the installation path.
# The installation process will create the following subdirectories:
# bin WordNet executable programs
#
# dict WordNet database files (the WNSEARCHDIR environment
# variable must be set by the user if the database
# is NOT installed in /usr/local/WordNet-2.0/dict)
#
# lib library of WordNet search code functions (libwn.a)
#
# include header files for use with library functions
#
# doc WordNet Reference Manual in HTML and PDF
#
# man WordNet Reference Manual in 'man' page format
# Default installation paths
WN_ROOT = /usr/local/WordNet-2.0
I chose /usr/local/bin/ in one of my attempts.
# By default, precompiled WordNet binaries are installed in
# $WN_ROOT/bin. You may specify another location, such as /usr/local/bin.
# By installing the binaries in /usr/local/bin, you probably do not have to
# change your PATH environment variable.
WN_BINDIR = $(WN_ROOT)/bin
- ---> I do not know which dir to choose here.
# By default, the WordNet database files are installed in $WN_ROOT/dict.
# You may specify another location. If the database is not installed in
# the default location, you MUST set the environment variable
# WNSEARCHDIR, or the WordNet browser will not be able to run.
WN_DICTDIR = $(WN_ROOT)/dict
# By default, installing the database files is done by copying them
# from the "dict" subdirectory into WN_DICTDIR. To save space, you
# can set INSTALLCMD to 'mv', which will move the files instead of
# copying them. This is slightly dangerous since you won't have a
# copy of the database files in the release directory. If you set
# INSTALLCMD to 'mv', you must set INSTALLFLAGS to nothing.
INSTALLCMD = cp
INSTALLFLAGS = -p
#INSTALLCMD = mv
#INSTALLFLAGS =
# By default, the WordNet library is installed in $WN_ROOT/lib, and
# the WordNet header files are installed in $WN_ROOT/include. These
# used when developing new applications that access the WordNet
# database files.
WN_LIBDIR = $(WN_ROOT)/lib
WN_INCDIR = $(WN_ROOT)/include
# By default, WordNet manual pages are installed $WN_ROOT/man. You may
# specify another location, such as /usr/local/man. By installing the
# manual pages in /usr/local/man, you probably do not have to change
# your MANPATH environment variable. The WordNet Reference Manual is
# also installed in HTML and PDF formats in $WN_ROOT/doc.
WN_MANDIR = $(WN_ROOT)/man
WN_DOCDIR = $(WN_ROOT)/doc
##### Platform specific stuff (for compiling from source only)
##### If you are not compiling WordNet 2.0, you do not have to change
##### anything below this line.

# and readily available. It's what we used to make the precompiled
# binaries.
CC = gcc
# Use this for Solaris

LOCAL_CFLAGS = -O -DUNIX
# The WordNet browser uses the Tcl/Tk libraries. WordNet 2.0 should
# work with Tcl/Tk 8.0 and higher. It was built with version 8.3 on
# Solaris and Linux and 8.0 on Irix.
# If you already have Tcl/Tk 8.0 or higher installed on your system, then
# you can just set the paths below as necessary for your local setup.
# If you do not have Tcl/Tk installed, or do not have the correct
# versions, see the file "README.tcktk" for information about downloading
# and installing Tcl8.3 and Tk8.3 on your system.
# You also need to know where the Xll include files and libraries are
# on your system.
# For the Solaris build, these were used:
