TURNING on SKIM/SCIM! The saga continues!

[Ghost Bird]

Embarassed I am not doing something quite correct. I can't turn SKIM on yet? I put in commands and it just looked at me.

export XMODIFIERS='@im=SCIM'
export XMODIFIER='@im=SCIM'
export GTK_IM_MODULE="scim"
export QT_IM_MODULE="scim"

Then I put in this last line here. Cool I'm thinking GREAT! It said that Scim is activiated.

scim -f socket -c socket -d

Accept it's not doing anything. I logged out and back in to restart the X session.

I also restarted as a last ditch effort? What am I missing?

export LC_CTYPE=en_EN.utf8

Would it be this? (I did put it in but nothing happened either) It just tells it that U want to use Skim for that particular Local right? I have read U can leave it off. Much as U said that it would just have Skim enable all the time for any Local or for everyone as U said.

What did I miss? I am using 3.2 stable version. I haven't bothered to update to 3.3 as I can't use Chinese and 3.2 is working fine for my needs. Minus the Skim. In fact I want all the languages. I may very well be heading tropical on my next contract so I may need Bahasa Indonesian or Malaysian. Or Korean, depending on where I decide to go.

Look forward to a reply on how to enable this properly. From your instructions and from what else I found, with everything already installed. This should have just turned on Skim...

I found it was easy to do, in a DEB distro. My buddy here was using something Ubuntu base, I think Mint. I just told him to use the Cli, found on their wiki and sure enough his SKIM turned right on after a log out and login...

Not sure what I missed here? I must be missing a command?

Much appreciation for your help.

I'm using sabayon 3.3.
I'm following instruction from Gentoo wiki, putting those export line.
And it works, i can write japanese.
But the problem is everytime i emerge --sync, SL complain about missing package.

So now i don't use those lines anymore.

Now i just use right click, and choose input method manually to scim (2nd option) where available.

sorry if not help.
