Hello Ming Hai,

You can download files here:

Look here, too: http://scim.sourceforge.net/skim/doc/user/en/

You will have to patch and recompile QT library choosing whether you 
want binary compatible or incompatible mode.
If you choose incompatible mode, you will have to recompile every single 
QT application on the system (KDE for example) - they will stop working 
without this. I did that and am happy about the decision, but in your 
case it may not be the best solution. Decide for yourself :-)

In my personal case it was pretty easy, as such things are automated on 
my distro. I only had to wait for the compilation to end, so it is 
difficult for me to give detailed advices. But the scim mailing list 
will surely help you any problems you may run into.

I am sure more advanced users will give you more detailed advice.

Good luck,
David
