Curious. I assume you haven't added any lines to the "vconj" file?

So you have a file called "jdics" listed in your .xjdicrc file?

Erm. There is no file called "xjdxgen.h", just "xjdxgen.c". "make all"
should have made a binary for it.

Looks as though a few things have been conflated. There is no -d option
for xjdxgen. The "-d dictionary_file" option is for the xjdic program.
The "SA" is a tag meaning StandAlone. As it say in the man page:

	"Options are tagged: CL, SA or SV according  to  whether  they
	are applicable  to the Client, Stand-alone or Server versions."

Make sure you have a xjdxgen binary.

xjdic operates with the kterm set to either EUC-JP or ISO-2022-jp. It
ignores the LANG variable.

I can help more, but I need to know what is in the .xjdicrc file, and
a list of files in your dictionary directory.

For SuSE there is a standard install script for xjdic that Mike Fabian
made, and I think there is a standard Debian install too.
