I'm trying to figure out if XIM is installed, but I don't know if it's a program or a library or named with upper- or lower-case, nor can I find any traces of it in the repositories (using search --provides). Leslie -- Platform: Linux Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.4 x86_64

Package x11-tools. All lower case, xim is a shell script that sets the input method (or so it says in the script).

Huh. 'zypper' says that x11-tools is installed, but 'whereis xim' returns nothing and 'which xim' returns 'which: no xim in (/home/leslie/bin:...) (my entire path), but that's explained by 'rpm -q x11-tools --filesbypkg', which shows that it's installed in /etc/X11/; so it's not something that would be run from the command line. Thanks for your help, Darryl. Leslie -- Platform: Linux Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.4 x86_64
