Hi, I'vee installed the kinput2 and canna packages from SuSE 8.2 professional. kinput2 works, but converting hiragana to kanji doesn't work (kinput2 gives a japanese error message that the kanji server can't be uesed). cannaserver is successfully started during boot and is running (checked with "ps aux"). I've tried to remove the original /etc/hosts.canna, but now canna refuses to start. Then I tried an empty hosts.canna file ("touch hosts.canna"). Now the hiragana-to-kanji conversion works as expected. Any ideas what is missing? I didn't modify the original hosts.canna file (it contains "localhost" and "unix", no extra spaces, tabs, newlines etc.). bye Lars -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Jetzt ein- oder umsteigen und USB-Speicheruhr als Prämie sichern!
