(setq sdic-default-coding-system 'utf-8-unix)Ejirou dictionaries are huge but non-free., if have them you can use them as sdic. To make eijirou dictionaries into sdic format. follow the instructions.
sudo apt-get install nkf- copy the files from the folder
- convert them in sdic file format using the script pdic1line2sdic.rb
EDIT better use perl script in contrib/
