kinput2 with canna

Hi folks,

 

I'm a budding Japanese translator, but I'm having some serious troubles getting a functioning Japanese IME on my Mandrake 9.0 system. I've tried installing the FreeWnn package that comes on the CD (it's the conversion server), and then the kinput2-wnn package (kinput2 is the front-end processor, in this case config'd to work with Wnn), but no dice.

 

I found a tarball for Canna (server) and got it installed alright, but I can't get a kinput2-canna package that I can get to work under Mdk 9.0. They all need Glibc 2.3, but all I have is Glibc 2.2. In an ideal world, I'd be flush with cash and be able to splash out on a copy of Mdk10, or have a broadband connection and be able to d/l the OE ISOs, but alas...

 

The one thing I have found is a number of binary RPMs for kinput2-canna for other distributions. What are the chances of getting those to work? Or, can I decompile them and recompile them for Mdk9?

 

If anyone can help me to get kinput2 working with either canna or FreeWnn, or some other alternative, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

TIA

Alex
