Cannot launch server on Mac

[SterlingHooten]

I installed dict from home-brew. Looking up a definition works when dict pulls from the internet, but I've been unable to get the server to launch. I've tried various permutations up to and including sudo dictd -v -f --locale=en_US.utf-8 -c "/usr/local/etc/dictd.conf" start which all complete but provide no status information. The process doesn't appear to be running, and nmap localhost doesn't show any server either.

Is there a way to get more diagnostic information from the server? Or is there something weird about macOS which is preventing the service from starting?
