For example, if you use openSUSE 12.1, follow steps below:
1) Add M17N repo to your install source.
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/M17N/openSUSE_12.1/
2) Install gjiten and wadokujt packages (and their requirements, if needed).
3) Launch Gjiten.
4) Edit -> Preferences -> Add "/usr/share/edict/wadokujt" as
'Japanisch-Deutsch' (or any other name as you like)
Then, you'll be able to select 'Japanisch-Deutsch' on Gjiten.
By the way, when you are online, you can use http://www.wadoku.de/ for
your communicating in Japanese. ;-)
Best.

Hi,
It seems that the edict license is unaceptable for openSUSE, so it was
dropped from openSUSE Factory (12.2 and beyond) 7 weeks ago. And all
packages which requires/build require it oo.
https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/125777
The packages envolved are (in parenthesys the delete request #):
edict (125777)
edict-emacs (125778)
gjiten (126216)
javadict (126217)
xjdic (126288)
xyaku (126289)
All of them are in state broken in M17N repository (because of the
_link it has with factory - except edict and edict-emacs that I remove
this _link and it builds ok)
I'm asking what sohuld we do in M17N? Drop these packages too? Try to
build without edict? Move it to Non OSS or maybe Packman? Ask for help
on what to do in similar cases on another list?
(opensuse-factory/-packaging)
I don't use this packages, I note it while doing some cleanups on M17N
(basically desabling sled repositories with unresolvable state)
Regards,
Luiz
