First two trivial typos.  In the comments of the file synonyms.el it
reads:

;;    (setq synonyms-cach-file <where you want a cache to be created>)
;;    (require 'thesaurus)

I believe that ``thesaurus'' in the second line should be changed to
synonyms.  Also the variable name is misspelled in the first line.

I cannot make this file work.  When I give (for example)

    M-x synonyms RET buffer RET

I get

    Looking up  synonyms for "buffer"...
    Recognizing tables...done
    synonyms-read-synonyms-from-cache: End of file during parsing

After that every time I try to invoke ``synonyms'' I get:

    Looking up  synonyms for "but"...
    synonyms-format-entry: Args out of range: 0, 10

where the numbers is the position of point.

M-x version, gives:

    GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll
    bars) of 2005-12-21 on pacem, modified by Debian
