It seems there is not enough packages in devx_431.sfs to compile iBus.

I have a frugal install and added devx_431.sfs already, but it seems need gtk+-2.0 or something else...

Here is the iBus page:
http://code.google.com/p/ibus/

Would u like give me a solution? thx!

I'm not a noob, just an old idiot. I can't get an IME to run on Puppy Lucid. Does Ibus do the job, if so can anyone help to give a step by step how to? What about SCIM or other alternatives?

I want to type Chinese simplified, but I can't. This is a big boo hoo.

Please help, you are my only hope...

iBus seems to have upset coders with a dependency on GConf amongst many others....apparently trying to create a registry in the gui

Have a look at the Multi-lingual info, and see if there's suitable info there

There are puppy users with working Chinese simplified scim, who may give you some tips

Thanks, Aitch.
There may be 3 options to support Chinese language on Puppies.

1. sasaqqdan's cnpack_half-4xx-20100606.pet
   
2. My lang_support_all-1.5.sfs
   
3. Also my lang_pack_cjk-lupq-0.1.sfs on LupQ

I recommend the last as the best if you like the Lucid Puppy.
