[Scim-user] Installing SCIM

[David Oftedal]

Hi!

I've just upgraded my version of SCIM, and I've discovered that because 
it depends on intltool, the whole installation has to be done in the "C" 
locale. So I was wondering if:

1) Someone could reproduce the problem I had at first? Simply set LC_ALL 
and LANGUAGE to "en_US.utf8" (Make sure that you have an en_US.utf8 
locale, or convert your en_US locale using localedef) and confirm that 
"make" fails at the very end.

2) Make sure that the locale is always forced to "C" during the install 
in future versions.

A lot of people are using more or less exotic system locales these days, 
so it would be an advantage if SCIM could force the locale back to "C" 
automatically. I do believe this is a common problem with lots of 
programs, so a modification of GNU make could also be a solution.

P.S. Thanks for integrating SCIM with both m17nlib and uim! Now SCIM is 
not only a great input method, but also a great frontend! It'll be my 
default XIM method from now on.
