Hi there!

Welcome to LQ.org. I think you will need to install a few more packages in order to get chinese input with scim. I had scim working "fine" in my Ubuntu system. I said "fine" because scim would not work on every program. For example, I could not type in Korean on aMSN. It worked in Firefox and a few other applications such as Gaim, but not nearly on every application I wish it would. It is a shame, really. But back to your question, check if you've installed these:

uim
anthy
scim-gtk2-immodule
scim-uim
scim-chinese

I think that should be enough. The tutorial I've followed was this one:

That won't work on Redhat though. But it will give you an idea of what you need.

Good luck!
