I recommend installing rpms from JRPM60:

        <ftp://ftp.kddlabs.co.jp:/Linux/jrpm/JRPM60/ALL/>

I am using packages from there with Redhat 6.0 and it works pretty
well for me.

I recommend installing at least the following:

Canna-3.5b2-20JRPM60.i386.rpm              
jgrep-2.0jp-1JRPM60.i386.rpm               (optional)
kinput2-canna-v3-2JRPM60.i386.rpm          
kon2-0.3.7-3JRPM60.i386.rpm                
kon2-font-0.3.7-3JRPM60.i386.rpm           
kterm-6.2.0-9JRPM60.i386.rpm               
less-332jp-6JRPM60.i386.rpm                (optional)
locale-ja-2.1.1.1-2.noarch.rpm
nkf-1.70p1-1JRPM60.i386.rpm                (optional)

[pgp-2.6.3ijp-2JRPM60.i386.rpm              (one way to get pgp)]

If you don't have XEmacs, but want it:

xemacs-21.1.4-28JRPM60.i386.rpm            
xemacs-Canna-21.1.4-28JRPM60.i386.rpm      (or xemacs-Wnn or ...)
xemacs-el-21.1.4-28JRPM60.i386.rpm         
xemacs-info-21.1.4-28JRPM60.i386.rpm       
xemacs-sumo-19990729-4JRPM60.noarch.rpm    
xemacs-sumo-el-19990729-4JRPM60.noarch.rpm 


I'm having trouble with pTeX (ASCII's Japanese TeX) since I didn't
install X servers with TrueType support and their xdvik seems to use
TT to display Japanese.  Also I can't get ghostview to display
Japanese postscript...


I guess one of the problems with JRPM is that there is not that much
information or documentation available on what to install and what
packages do.
