Hallo,

I am finally back from the school trip to Barcelona and I was quite surprised 
to see 2 new versions for SCIM ;o))) 

I have installed today the missing perl XML::Parser and then the compiling 
worked again perfect like before. :)) GREAT!!!!!! For just running SCIM I 
don't need this perl module, or? At least I couldn't find a problem on the 
first sight without it being installed.
Maybe you could update the dependencies in the documentation at your 
homepage ;) I guess I have also found some of your old eMails in the readme 
files, maybe you want to change them. I have one comment about the INSTALL 
file and the "generic installation instructions". I see it quite often, but 
actually in my opinion it has not really much use. People who know Linux, 
don't look in this file anyway, cos it has nothing new for them and people 
who don't have so much experiences yet it helps not really to install SCIM, 
what they just want to do at the moment. Some instructions and comments about 
how to install SCIM would be much more interesting, especially for this case. 
Maybe I could try to write something about my experiences of compiling and 
installing SCIM and you can add the right technical aspects so we could 
create a bit more specified INSTALL instructions?

Well, I asked once about creating Slackware packages for SCIM. I have no gnome 
installed and also no GConf. I am not sure now if you can need my binaries 
anyway then, or if I should enable also this?

scim-japanese sounds interesting for me. Maybe I should try it out for the 
japnese student if she can work better with it than with the current tables. 
Is it also something special like with this scim-chinese pinyin Input 
Methode?


Okay and one last thing concerning Cougar and the scim-panel-kde:
I also tried it out today the first time, but couldn't compile. Running 
configure I got this message, but not sure if it is something bad.
- - - -  cut  - - -
configure: creating ./config.status
wrong input (flag != 4) at admin/conf.change.pl line 117, <> line 1024.
config.status: creating config.h
- - - -  end  - - -
But here is the end of the make run:
- - - -  cut  - - -
socketserverthread.cpp: In member function `void 
scim::SocketServerThread::changeServerFactory(const QString&)':
socketserverthread.cpp:1053: invalid conversion from `const char*' to 
`unsigned int'
socketserverthread.cpp:1053:   initializing argument 1 of `void 
scim::SocketTransaction::put_data(unsigned int)'
make[2]: *** [socketserverthread.o] Error 1
- - - -  end  - - -
Not sure if you can find something. If you need I can send you the other 
outputs and more information also (private message?), because before I also 
had many strange messages.


I am always surprised how much space compiling takes. Slowly my harddriver of 
my notebook gets full and today I first had to clean bit up to get the over 
80MB free for SCIM to compile *gg*


Okay, regards
Klaus
