scim -d not working :(

If I run scim -d, all I get is:

Failed to load FrontEnd Socket module.

The other modules don't work either. I have my env variables set up correctly according to the instructions on the skim site (I think):

export XMODIFIERS=@im=scim
export LC_TYPE="zh_CN.GBK"
export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim

I also have skim set up to launch scim with the kconfig module, but it loads in the systray and displays an empty box when I left click on it.

What is wrong? I can't figure it out

thanks

maybe you don't export your XMODIFIERS＝@im=scim

add the 3 lines into .xinitrc

Those were the exact three lines I added, like I said in my first post

How do you login in X?From xdm or startx?maybe you should do "startx" once.Don't ask me why ,some settings often take effect here by this way without any reason.
Or you can try to create a file named "110XIM" in /etc/env.d ,and add that 3 lines in it ,but remove "export",than run "env-update".

I have scim and scim-pinyin emerged. What's the difference between scim-pinyin and scim-chinese?
