Hello,
I had really looked forward to SuSE9.0 + SCIM as I hoped that finally I would get useable Chinese input working under Chinese.
SCIM installed fine, of course, from the DVD. However SuSE doesn't include the all important 'smart chinese input method' (because of licensing issues I guess). I went to turbolinux to download this but discovered a new version has been released which requires a higher version of scim than is included in SuSE.
I removed scim that was included with SuSE then downloaded and installed the following rpms:
scim-0.8.2-1ul1.i386.rpm scim-tables-zh-0.3.0-1.noarch.rpm scim-chinese-0.2.6-1ul1.i386.rpm
Everything went without a hitch except that after installation there was a message that there is no /opt/gnome2/bin/gconftool-2
I found a gconftool-2 in /opt/gnome/bin/ and created a symlink to the desired location.
I then tried to start scim from a normal terminal. The output was fine until it says
Starting SCIM.....
<and then a paignful pause before>
scim::FrontEnd: X11 --failed to initialize XIM server!
I've tried verious combinations of rpms such as not using the all-in-one rpm and installing each part individually, all with the same result.
Does anyone have this working? Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong Mike?
TIA,
Jethro Jethro
I have just installed it and it works fine. I did not use the ul versions just the generic rpms. Apart from that I have set my locale to zh_CN.UTF-8 and exported XMODIFIERS as instructed, in my .profile. I ran scim -d. I have logged out and in again. (I'm using KDE) and scim works fine with all my apps. Eddie.
