Hi everyone,
First, my installation is based on Slackware, but I have upgraded most packages from
source since then.
- Linux version 2.6.26.5 (gcc version 4.2.2) #2 SMP Thu Oct 16 16:40:22 EDT 2008
- OpenOffice 2.3 and 2.4 work fine with SCIM. I can input chinese text.
Last night I downloaded OpenOffice3 and I installed it this morning. The setup program
failed to install OpenOffice on my system since it makes use of 'rpm'. I
have a recent version of rpm installed, but I don't use rpm to manage my packages
so there is not package database based on rpm on my machine.
Next time I will get the Debian distribution instead.
I managed to install OpenOffice3 with the help of 'rpm2tgz'. That's what I did
with OpenOffice 2.3 and 2.4, and it worked fine. So I don't believe that the problems
I get come from a faulty install.
Two problems:
1. SCIM won't activate with OpenOffice3. SCIM will activate with OpenOffice2.3,
Emacs, and my utf-8 xterm. Here is how I start office.
> LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM GTK_IM_MODULE=scim-bridge /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice
2. I lost the control of OpenOffice3 after attempting to activate SCIM. This occured at least twice.
OpenOffice anwered neither the keyboard nor the mouse. I had do kill
the program.
I looked at the listing of
> ldd /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin
to see if the program linked to something odd. Nothing unusual. Most libraries come from the office
distribution.
I searched the forums but found nothing related. Would anyone have a suggestion.
The other programs I use that won't work with SCIM are Firefox and Thunderbird.
Thank's

Re: SCIM won't activate with 3.0 although it works with 2.3
SCIM is also not activating with my install of OpenOffice 3.0.0 on Fedora 9 (though it does with OpenOffice 2.4.1 and most other non-Java apps). I thought it might be because opt/openoffice.org3/program OOo 3.0.0 is not in my PATH, but if you put opt/openoffice.org3/program in your PATH you have two instances of soffice and so on...

Re: SCIM won't activate with 3.0 although it works with 2.3
I have tried the solution provided in this thread. However, I continue to have the problem, that is, scim remains inactive and I am unable to get Japanese input to work with 3.0. I am running it on CentOS 5. At least one other person is reporting the same issue as seen in this CentOS forum:
