if you need the jap -> eng version, just DL this and extract it to /usr/share/stardict/dic/

http://www.mediafire.com/?gg1oeztmodz

it already has the ifo and syn files.

packages lack .ifo and .syn files.
easy solution is creating empty jmdict-en-ja.syn
and jmdict-en-ja.ifo like following:

StarDict's dict ifo file
version=2.4.2
wordcount=204464
synwordcount=0
idxfilesize=2392622
bookname=JMDict (En-Jp)
sametypesequence=x
