Well, I am so sorry that I did not make it finally....

I tried almost all methods you guys mentioned in the past 4~5 hours. But I never made it. I even could not select dictionaries somehow since I never saw the "plus" in the config to select the dics.

Fortunatelly, I switched to MStarDict. With all the knowledge I got from QStarDict, I only spent like 10 mins to setup MStarDict with "speak" func.......

P.S. I AM a software developer. I used C, C++, .net & Java before. But I only did everything on Windows. That's why I could not make it???

Anyway, I must have missed something. There is only one thing left to me: to debug it line by line to see what's going on...........

But if any ppl like me, maybe, you should consider to give it up if you can not make it in the first 1 hour.

Do I look like a MStarDict developper??? !@#$%^&&*()

anyway, I dislike the QuestionableStarDict!!!!! It wasted me too much time!!!!!
