Rodolfo, Since we are talking about Debian, first you need to make sure you have the correct packages installed. Here is what I have. ii libscim8c2a 1.4.7-3 library for SCIM platform ii scim 1.4.7-3 smart common input method platform ii scim-anthy 1.2.4-1.1 SCIM IMEngine module for Anthy ii scim-gtk2-immodule 1.4.7-3 GTK+2 input method module with SCIM as backend ii scim-modules-socket 1.4.7-3 socket modules for SCIM platform Second, you have to have the correct locale and environment settings. These are best set in $HOME/.xsession . I have these settings: export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM" export GTK_IM_MODULE="scim" export QT_IM_MODULE="scim" export LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.utf8 export LANG=ja_JP.utf8 Then when you start X, and you start a terminal, you should type the command $ env and confirm that your environment is as it should be. Then starting openoffice is just: $ openoffice Hope this helps, Joel > > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org > with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
