Using Anthy from Emacs

*****************************************
Bug Report filed!
You may not need this if the bug has been fixed.

*****************************************

Unlike in the other distros, anthy doesn't come with the necessary *.el files for you to use with Emacs. So, this is how to copy those necessary *.el files from the source tar ball(no compilation needed).

First, download the source tar ball from this page:
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/6852/

Then, extract the tar ball to a temporary directory as usual. Substitute 7500b with the correct version number.
$ cd /path/to/tmpdir
$ tar xzvf /path/to/anthy-7500b.tar.gz

Finally, copy the necessary *.el files to emacs's site-lisp directory(as root). Again, substitute 7500b with the correct version number.
# mkdir /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/anthy
# cd /path/to/tmpdir/anthy-7500b
# cp src-util/*.el /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/anthy/

Now, setup ~/.emacs according to this page and you are done!
http://anthy.sourceforge.jp/cgi-bin/hik … with+Emacs

p/s: /path/to/tmpdir/anthy-7500b is not needed anymore so you can delete it if you like

Hope this helps.
