How To Install a New Mirror

  1. You should have a public-available WWW server, based on a UNIX-like system (Linux, BSD, Solaris, HP-UX etc.). The dictionary will occupy about 3 megabytes.
  2. On the server, there should be the Perl release 5.001 or higher, with the binary at /usr/local/bin/perl
    On some Linux'es, the Perl is resided in /usr/bin. In this case, the simpliest way is to make the symbolic link:
    ln -s /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/perl
  3. You should have gzip on the server. It's usually in /usr/local/bin. I've never tested the dictionary when gzip resides in /usr/bin. Maybe you should make a symlink too.
  4. Get the distribution pack from http://sinyagin.pp.ru/archives/dict.tar.gz or from my Yahoo! briefcase, folder "Pub": http://briefcase.yahoo.com/ssinyagin
  5. Unpack it in your cgi-bin directory
  6. Do "make install". It will take near to 3 minutes.
  7. If you are using Russian Apache, uncomment this line in engrus.pl:
    # $russianApache = 1;
    Then the script will output KOI8 encoding only.
