alexpank Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 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.
