  Then please say that.  Otherwise, it's hard for me to guess what you mean.

  All of the documentation and examples use "main dictioanry" to mean the dictionaries that are included with the server, not "raddb/dictionary".

  I explicitly told you to edit raddb/dictionary.

  You probably installed the latest github code over top of any "alpha1" release.  Which means that the it doesn't over-write the raddb/dictionary file.

  If you look at raddb/dictionary from the latest GitHub code, it contains full instructions for how to add aliases.  Follow those instructions, and it will work.

  Hint: you don't just uncomment one line.  There is more than one line to uncomment.

  I said I would fix the error message.

  If you want to know why the error message was wrong, look at the "master" branch on github.  I've pushed a fix.
