Yes, I think that would be the case.  I misunderstood you, I thought
that your kinput2 was OK but and you had a problem with Canna. But
actually it is the other way round.  Sorry.

Strange, I tried again and it still works for me.

I encountered no problems compiling

    ftp://ftp.sra.co.jp/pub/x11/kinput2/kinput2-v3.1-alpha1.tar.gz

from source. Very easy.

But I did this only on glibc 2.1.[2|3] and glibc 2.2 systems, I didn't
try it on a libc5 system. Doesn't it work anymore on libc5?
