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?

                        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.

                        [quote=Shashank Sharma]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.

I chose KDE. The only problem I need to solve now, is layout variants. 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!                    </div>
