I've downloaded MDic dictionary from [1]: http://mdic.gnufolks.org/ but I don't know how to install it. The file has named as mdic-0.8.1.tar.gz Please guide me to install.

Right-click the tar.gz and select 'Extract Here.' Now open a terminal and do:

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic qt4-dev-tools qt4-qmake libaspell-dev  
cd mdic
mkdir build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..

You may find that the install process will stop complaining about missing packages. If so, open Synaptic or Software Manager and install the -dev version of the missing package. After the cmake gets to "..-- Build files have been written.." then proceed to:

make
sudo make install

I got this package to 'make' on my 13.04 system without any error or warning (!!) but did not install it.
