I think that we can help you for this, but you should give us more
details first, so that we can understand the situation. Here are a few
questions:

1) what is your linux distribution?
2) what packages related to uim, xim, scim, anthy did you install
3) what is your locale (open a terminal and type "locale" and paste
the results here)
4) what configuration files did you change and how?
5) do you use gnome or kde?
6) do you see SCIM's applet somewhere? (I think it is a little crown
in your taskbar) did you try to change the input method using the
applet?
