I've just installed Suse 8.2 and I need a semplified chinese input method. I've installed the scim rpms although conflict with yast2

This conflict is a YaST2 bug. YaST2 shows a conflict where no conflict is in reality. Just ignore this.

then to configure locale I put in ~/.profile

LANG=zh_CN.GB2312 LC_CTYPE="zh_CN.GB2312" LC_NUMERIC="zh_CN.GB2312" LC_TIME="zh_CN.GB2312" LC_COLLATE=POSIX LC_MONETARY="zh_CN.GB2312" LC_MESSAGES="zh_CN.GB2312" LC_PAPER="zh_CN.GB2312" LC_NAME="zh_CN.GB2312" LC_ADDRESS="zh_CN.GB2312" LC_TELEPHONE="zh_CN.GB2312" LC_MEASUREMENT="zh_CN.GB2312" LC_IDENTIFICATION="zh_CN.GB2312" LC_ALL=

then I add in the end of ~/xinitrc

export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"

Then I tried to run scim but I had this: no server module is avalaible or specified

I cannot reproduce exactly this message, but maybe you get messages like the following when starting scim: mike@kibou:~$ scim Smart Common Input Method 0.5.1 Loading simple Config module ... Creating backend ... Loading Server module: rawcode ... Loading Server Factory 0 ... : OK rawcode Server module is successfully loaded. Loading Server module: socket ... Failed to load socket Server module. Loading Server module: table ... Failed to load table Server module. Loading x11-gtk FrontEnd module ... Starting SCIM ... That would mean you didn't install the scim-tables packages. After installing scim-tables-ja scim-tables-ko scim-tables-zh the messages when starting scim should look like this: mike@kibou:~$ scim Smart Common Input Method 0.5.1 Loading simple Config module ... Creating backend ... Loading Server module: rawcode ... Loading Server Factory 0 ... : OK rawcode Server module is successfully loaded. Loading Server module: socket ... Failed to load socket Server module. Loading Server module: table ... Loading Server Factory 0 ... : OK Loading Server Factory 1 ... : OK Loading Server Factory 2 ... : OK Loading Server Factory 3 ... : OK Loading Server Factory 4 ... : OK Loading Server Factory 5 ... : OK Loading Server Factory 6 ... : OK Loading Server Factory 7 ... : OK Loading Server Factory 8 ... : OK Loading Server Factory 9 ... : OK Loading Server Factory 10 ... : OK table Server module is successfully loaded. Loading x11-gtk FrontEnd module ... Starting SCIM ... and then you should have some input methods available.

Have scim a method to recognize the most used characters to speed up the selection of them?

You are probably looking for the intelligent PinYin module for SCIM which is not open source. But you can download it for personal use from the website of the author.
