Here's how I got kanjipad to install and run. I don't know if this will work for everybody, but I wanted a way that wasn't too difficult and wouldn't adversely affect other applications. This is on an N800 with OS2008.

The first way is to simply download four .debs with "wget" and install them using "dpkg". Open up xterm and type the following:

Code:

wget http://armel-debs.applieddata.net/debian/pool/main/k/kanjipad/kanjipad_2.0.0-6_armel.deb
wget http://armel-debs.applieddata.net/debian/pool/main/libx/libxinerama/libxinerama1_1.0.2-1_armel.deb
wget http://maemocjk.garage.maemo.org/dists/chinook/test/binary-armel/iconv-jp-0.2_armel.deb
wget http://maemocjk.garage.maemo.org/dists/chinook/test/binary-armel/ttf-kochi-gothic_1.0.20030809-4maemo2_all.deb
sudo gainroot
dpkg -i kanjipad_2.0.0-6_armel.deb libxinerama1_1.0.2-1_armel.deb iconv-jp-0.2_armel.deb ttf-kochi-gothic_1.0.20030809-4maemo2_all.deb

The second way is to add the repositories to the Application Manager and install them with "apt-get". (Or you could use the "Red Pill" mode I suppose.) Launch the Application Manager, go to the menu "Tools->Application catalog..." and add the following two repositories (with the "New" button):

Code:

Catalog name: MaemoCJK
Web address: http://maemocjk.garage.maemo.org/
Distribution: chinook
Components: test


Catalog name: Debian armel
Web address: http://armel-debs.applieddata.net/debian/
Distribution: testing
Components: main

Click the "Close" button and let the application catalog refresh itself. Then exit the Application manager.

From an xterm, install the same four files using "apt-get":

Code:

sudo gainroot
apt-get install kanjipad iconv-jp ttf-kochi-gothic

Type "y" as necessary. apt-get will automatically download all four packages and install them.

As a final step, go back into the Application manager, go to menu "Tools->Application catalog...", click the "Debian armel" repository you added, click the "Edit" button, and then check the "Disabled" checkbox (since we really don't need any more packages from there).

I still had to go into gjiten and tell it where to find the /usr/bin/kanjipad binary, but now it seems to work. For info about installing gjiten, see this thread.

EDIT:

I have added the ttf-kochi-gothic font to the above instructions. I had installed that font a long time ago to get Japanese to display in the web browser, but I'm guessing some people haven't done that step before.

EDIT (March 12, 2008):

Thanks to kitsu for the notification... Updated paths/filenames and repository to use the 'new' directory structure at applieddata.net (i.e. no longer "pool-armel", and now distribution is "testing" rather than "sid").
