Details

The Anthy package in extra doesn't come with the necessary *.el files to use with Emacs. This is what I have done to copy those necessary *.el files from the source tar ball(no compilation needed) to the proper directory. Of course, this might be just a dirty hack but it works for me.

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

2. 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

3. 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/

4. setup ~/.emacs according to this page:
http://anthy.sourceforge.jp/cgi-bin/hikien/hiki.cgi?Using+Anthy+with+Emacs

From my experience, in other distros anthy comes with the necessary *.el files by default or they prepare a separate package for them. Just for your information, I have attached the output of "dpkg -l anthy-el" run on a Ubuntu machine.

thanx for informing me about this missing files. i have never tried to input in emacs using chars other than latin1 coded. i will investigate this further and make soon a new release of anthy (8700) with the needed el files. when it comes out, please test it and report here if it works fine.
