Linux: SCIM on Slackware64 (it is Salix64, anyway)

As I am going to learn different cultures with different charsets, I am going to need trustworthy input method for different for different charsets: Latin (English), Arabic, Japanese (Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji). I'll explain certain things for each language later in another posts, I promise.

There are various input methods available for Linux, yet I'll just stick with Slackware's good old default: SCIM. SCIM is official package in Slackware64. So installing the packages is pretty classic.

#installpkg ./slackware64/x/scim*.txz

Also make sure you are using UTF8-capable locale. Check /etc/profile.d/lang.sh for something like this:
export LANG=en_US.utf8

Enable SCIM script(s) in /etc/profile.d/ too
chmod +x /etc/profile.d/scim*
--anyway, is the anyone out there using csh in their daily mortal life?
