Japanese on an English language Linux for PPC

[Joss Winn <joss@example.com>]

Hello,

I am running SUSE 7.0PPC on an iMac very happily but would like to be
able to integrate Japanese into it.  So far, I have been able to use
jserver/canna server/emacs/mule but cannot get kinput2 running.  I think
I have everything installed but typing kinput2 into the terminal as user
or root, says that the display cannot be opened.  I have been reading
the PDF book by Craig (? - sorry I am not at my own computer right now)
linked from the TLUG site which has been very helpful but cannot seem to
get a fully integrated Japanese environment outside of emacs.  I'm
particularly keen to make mutt and vim Japanese capable.  I have mutt
1.25i and have also tried installing jvim but uninstalled it as the
installation broke vim and jvim.  I also have kterm installed although
have yet to see any Japanese in it.

ANY advice on what I should have installed and where to go from here,
would be appreciated.
