SCIM question again

bonneville88sse

First of all, I apologize for not typing in Chinese as I don't have any working IM modules right now.

I've been struggling with SCIM on my debian for a few weeks, which made me really frustrated...  I still believe it could work though, as my (actually my wife's) Slackware runs SCIM perfectly.  All I want is just an IM module that works under a pure UTF-8 environment and of course, on debian.  I'm using Debian Sarge (testing), some info is listed below:

kernel 2.4.25
gcc 3.3.3
locale en_US.UTF-8
xfree86 4.3.0
gtk 2.2.4
gnome 2.4.1

I couldn't compile SCIM from source earlier, later I figured that was because my X was 4.2, just a few days ago, x 4.3 finally arrived in sarge, I upgraded it right away, and SCIM was successfully compiled!  everything seems fine, one question though, I found that pinyin.so is in /usr/lib/scim-1.0/Server, but all the rest of server modules are in /usr/lib/scim-1.0/0.9.0/Server, anyway, i copied pinyin.so and  pinyin-server-setup.so to both directories...  and then I had all required environment variables exported as:

XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM
GTK_IM_MODULE=xim

I thought it would start working, but... I can never activate SCIM by pressing ctrl+space

I asked for help here for many times, but so far haven't got any solution, if anyone has made it work on debian whichever version, could you please give me a hand, any suggestions/hints/replies would be greatly appreciated!

Here's what happens when i run scim from the console, it seems something goes wrong, but i have no idea what the problem is:


tiger:~# scim -d

sorry，你这个问题我还没有见到过。
你的scim是编译的吧，为什么不用rpm呢？

you're right, my scim was compiled on my debian, why not rpm?  because it's debian, the package management tools are dpkg, apt-get, etc., debian has an utility called "alien" (meaning packages from other distros are aliens), which converts rpm packages to deb packages, i tried it, got no errors to install alien-generated rpm packages, but scim didn't work...

你可以看看我的 unofficial package for unstable。具体情况请见 http://lists.debian.org/debian-c ... 00403/msg00000.html

虽然是 0.9.2 的老版本，希望有点帮助。
