Cannot find dictionary client "dict" on 64 bit Koala

[Rayson]

I have installed the dictionary server "dictd" and many dictionaries including dict-win and dict-gcide and also the dictionary client "dict" but cannot find any way to launch it. If I use the Konsole and type dict, I get the following:

ray@HPLaptopKoala:~$ dict
dict 1.11.1/rf on Linux 2.6.31-14-generic
Copyright 1997-2002 Rickard E. Faith (faith@dict.org)
Copyright 2002-2007 Aleksey Cheusov (vle@gmx.net)

I have used this dictionary on many previous releases of Kubuntu and really like it but no-go on this Koala machine.

Any ideas?

It is showing details of the file.

So how do I launch dict? I can see in "System Activity" that the dictionary server "dictd" is running but I cannot get dict (the reader) to launch.

I found a solution - I installed "GoldenDict" which reads the dictionary server, is a GUI interface, and works well on Koala.
