The library serves as a backend for the Smart Common Input Method (SCIM) Project. SCIM provides a neat way of switching between Tamil and English keys. </p><p>Hence, to achieve full Tamil editing capabilities on your linux system this way, you should have both the m17n backend and the SCIM frontend. </p><p>Here is the step by step procedure: </p><p>1. Download the m17n libraries and database sources from <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.m17n.org/m17n-lib/">here</a> </p> <pre> Alternatively, Fedora Users can install source rpms from <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras">Fedora Extras</a> Install both the libraries and databases. 1. Go to the library source directory in the terminal and logged in as root, type './configure' and then 'make' and 'make install' 2. Do the same for the database. </pre> <p>2. Download SCIM from <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.scim-im.org/downloads/scim_download">here</a> </p> <pre> Alternatively, Fedora Users can install from <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras">Fedora Extras</a> Install SCIM the same way you did m17n (cd to source,'./configure', 'make' and 'make install') or rpm -ivh 'filename.rpm' if you downloaded the rpm. </pre> <p>3. Download the m17n-SCIM interface from <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/scim/">here</a> </p> <pre> Alternatively, Fedora users can install it from <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras">Fedora Extras</a> Install the m17n-SCIM in a similar fashion. Some users have encountered trouble in finding the already installed SCIM package when they use './configure'. To correct this problem, please follow these guidlines. 1. To make sure that you have scim, in the terminal, try "whereis scim". you should get something similar to 'scim: /usr/bin/scim.....' 2. In the terminal, try "whereis pkgconfig". You should have 2-3 results. Go to the directory each of these directories and see if 'scim.pc' is present. If so, include the path of that directory in the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH (ex: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ) Once pkgconfig is able to find scim, installation should proceed smoothly. </pre> <p>4. After installation, in Fedora 3 you should see the SCIM Input Method Setup in Applications-->Preferences-->More Preferences </p> <pre> Alternatively, you can invoke scim-setup by typing sciim-setup in the terminal. </pre> <p>5. Once the SCIM fron end starts, </p> <pre> Go to the IME-engine-->Global Setup option to see the Tamil keyboard listed. Go to Tamil, expand the tree and you see the m17n kan-itrans option and click edit hot-keys. Choose a convineint hotkey for changing the keyboard to Tamil. Go to Front end --> Global Hotkeys. Choose another hotkey to invoke this setup utility. Go to Panel--> GTK and select all options you want to make the SCIM utility easily accesible. </pre> <p>Now you are all set to type in Tamil!!!. Go to any UTF-8 enabled editor or IM (gedit, gaim work!) and select the m17n kan itrans Keyboard in Tamil in the SCIM utility (which should be running on the desktop panel) and start typing Tamil!
