How to install SCIM, m17n, scim-m17n? (Solved)

#1 Post by RR Koothady »

Dear Mark:

To input Tamil, SCIM is used as a front end tool and m17nlib & m17ndat are used as the backend tools with SCIM-m17n used as the Bridge between the two.
Many have tested this in Fedora, Gentoo, Debian, Vector Linux etc. ( However, this is not my own personal experience, as I am just an one and a half months toddler, and have chosen to start my journey from Puppy).

Here is a link to a short and succint "HOWTO install m17n and SCIM" for inputting Tamil in Linux (esp: Fedora):

http://ta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia: ... nd_FreeBSD

I followed the steps given in this HOW TO tutorial:

1. I downloaded the required 4 tar.gz files.

2. Made Dot Pups with your (great) Dot Pup Wizard.

3. Installation of the m17nlib and m17ndat performed perfectly.

4. Installation of the SCIM.pup shows the following problem (see captured image):


I am unable to move further.

Need your esteemed help.

Attaching the 4 dot pup files with this.

Thank You and many Thanks to dear ngia for starting this Topic.
