Hello:

I am having difficulty getting Japanese support working under Red Hat 6.0.  
I downloaded and installed the following packages:

  kinput2-v2fix5alpha1-4.i386.rpm
  kterm-6.2.0-8.i386.rpm
  wnn4-4.2-7.i386.rpm

I *think* that should be good enough for rudimentary Japanese support.  
Yet, when "wnn" attempts to start, it aborts with the following error:

  Starting Wnn4 server: 
  Nihongo Multi Client Server (4.20)
  : can't bind inet-socket

If I try to run "kinput2 -wnn" to enable my FEP, I get the following error
(as one would expect, given the failure of Wnn to run):

  Warning: ccWnn Object: can't connect to jserver
  Warning: ccWnn Object: can't connect to jserver

In addition, I downloaded and installed:

  yudit-1.2-1.i386.rpm

(I prefer yudit as a Japanese-enabled text editor as opposed to vi or
emacs).  When I run yudit, I just get a segmentation fault.

Any ideas as to what has changed between RH 5.2 to 6.0 that is preventing
these items from working?

Thanks in advance.
