canna, kinput

[gparis@example.com]

Hello,

I am studying Japanese and tried recently to get Japanese input to work under
Linux. I did a bit of reading, and finally the page that really helped me get it
to work was http://anime.collapsar.net/nihongo/JIM/. It worked for a while, then
all of a sudden it didn't anymore - I have no idea what happened! 

I installed canna, the server is working and it even gets started automatically
at boot time, although I don't know how I managed that... When I try to start
kinput from a kterm, this is the error message I get (sorry for the romaji, I
couldn't copy-paste the error-message with the kanji in it):

# /usr/bin/X11/kinput2 -canna &
[1] 1064
# Warning: (kana kanji henkan saaba to tsuushin dekimasen)

And of course, kinput is not listed among cannas servers:
# cannastat
Connected to unix
Canna Server (Ver. 3.5)
No clients
#

The biggest problem is that I don't really know where to go on looking... Oh,
btw, I have RH 7 and am only beginning under Linux... Can anyone help me, even
if only by pointing to some documentation I might have missed?

Akane (=Garance)
