I was able to get SCIM working on KUbuntu Linux 6.06, but not SKIM. I'll just post a quick reply to get you started. One web page that was helpful was:
http://www.scim-im.org/wiki/document...ubuntu_kubuntu
Also, when I installed the SCIM package in KUbuntu, it said:
Suggested packages:
scim-uim scim-hangul scim-chewing scim-m17n scim-prime scim-anthy scim-skk scim-canna scim-tables-additional scim-tables-ja scim-tables-ko scim-chinese
Recommended packages:
im-switch m17n-env
Hope it gets you started.
Wups, I just noticed that this thread is in the Fedora forum. I must have wandered in here by accident. Anyway, maybe my info will still help.
