Hello, [The problems described below happens with SCIM in Xubuntu 6.06 (which I use on a machine that can't handle Suse), so I could understand no answer coming from this Suse-list. However, it's all about SCIM. Got no answer on Ubuntu lists.] I installed scim-tables, scim-m17n, (and all dependencies, trusting Synaptic). Now, at least the m17n-part doesn't work in Scim. In Scim Setup > IMEngine > Generic Table > Table Management, I see that for example "Arabic" is in the file /usr/share/scim/tables/Arabic.bin Now I want to install the m17n input methods too, so in the Setup I try "Install". In the directory /usr/share/m17n/... there are files such as zh-pinyin.mim, latn-pre.mim, he-kbd.mim, or CP1258.map and many others. Trying to install one of these, I read "Error - Failed to load the table file!" I guess the directory /usr/share/m17n/ is not usable to Scim? I tried copying the files in /usr/share/m17n to /usr/share/scim, but to no effect. Same "Error - Failed to load the table file!" Thank you, Herman
