You just need the scim-pinyin package. I believe it's available for many distributions.

[quote=Shashank Sharma]You just need the scim-pinyin package. I believe it's available for many distributions.[/quote] I did so, but what then? Downloaded it to openSUSE Gnome HD, opened zipped file. Many install and configure files. Can I run an executable installation file like in Windows? [Modified by: grosser schwanz on May 01, 2008 07:34 AM]

When you extract the tar.gz package: 1. Open a terminal and type: tar zxvf scim-1.4.7.tar.gz 2. This creates a directory called scim-1.4.7. In this directory is a file called INSTALL that has more detailed installation instructions. cd scim-1.4.7 less INSTALL 3. Basically you need to run these three commands to install it: ./configure make make install You will need to have the GCC compiler installed before you can run ./configure Also, are you running OpenSUSE or Fedora? 'Coz in your other thread we're discussing how to do this with Fedora. Cheers!

Somehow I lost smart pinyin and other variants of Chinese layout but default, basic and tib. Where to find options for adding variants? Thanks in advance, you've helped a lot!
