Very rarely I need to type one or two japanese characters in my emacs, and I recall that I did it with LEIM and set-input-method quite easily. However, in my current installation, emacs says that LEIM isn't installed.
The cygwin installer says: LEIM is part of emacs package now. The directory where LEIM used to be, /usr/share/21.2/leim/, exists but is empty, both on my machine and on <http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=emacs%2Femacs-21.2-12>. There's no LEIM at all in <http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=emacs-el%2Femacs-el-21.2-12> but the title says "(including LEIM)". As a workaround, I fetched emacs-leim from the web, extracted the tar.bz2 and symlinked the contents to /usr/share/21.2/leim. Now set-input-method works as expected. But I doubt that this is how it ought to be. * Is there something wrong with my installation (old installation, carried over from another machine)? * Did I miss to install / re-install an emacs package? * Is it a packaging error with cygwin's emacs-el 21.2 package? * Would a switch to emacs and emacs-el 23.0.92 be the recommended solution (emacs-el 23.0.92 apparently contains LEIM)? -- Cheers, haj -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
