How to install a software?

laah

I am Chinese and my English is not good.Here is my problem.
I just install Ubuntu in my computer.Now I find I cant not use pinyin with it.So I want to install a software of pinyin.But I can't do it.That's why I use English.I decide to finish it whitout my notebook whit Vista.

I want to install a software named sun-pinyin.Here is the lesson on internet:

Sun拼音编译安装：
    去http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/sunpinyin/ 把三个包包下下来。
    $ dpkg-source -x sunpinyin_1.0~hg20090201-1.dsc
    $ cd sunpinyin-1.0~hg20090201/
    $ sudo dpkg-buildpackage
    非常简单咩？

    最后得到：

    iiimf-le-sunpinyin-chinese_1.0~hg20090201-1_i386.deb
    scim-sunpinyin_1.0~hg20090201-1_i386.deb
    sunpinyin-data-be_1.0~hg20090201-1_all.deb
    sunpinyin-data-le_1.0~hg20090201-1_all.deb


    四个deb包。其中scim开头那个是scim用的，sunpinyin-data-le开头那个是x86这样 little-endian的平台用的。安装它们两个就可以了。



I have download 三个包包.Then I follow the lesson to input $ dpkg-source -x sunpinyin_1.0~hg20090201-1.dsc

Re:The program 'dpkg-source' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev
bash: dpkg-source: command not found


What's the problem?

I input sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev
Re:正在读取软件包列表... 完成
正在分析软件包的依赖关系树

现在没有可用的软件包 dpkg-dev，但是它被其它的软件包引用了。
这可能意味着这个缺失的软件包可能已被废弃，
或者只能在其他发布源中找到
E: 软件包 dpkg-dev 还没有可供安装的候选者

But problem is not solve.

Please tell me what's the problem.Thanks

PSlase answer me by chinese and please do not judge my English.

Have you installed scim in you computer and is you locale simplified Chinese?
If so, you should be able to input Chinese with scim.
Try to install im-switch with command
sudo apt-get install im-switch
and then run
im-switch -s scim
If you're not sure if scim has been installed, run
dpkg -l scim-pinyin
to check if scim and pinyin module(scim-pinyin) has been installed.  You just need to check scim-pinyin since scim-pinyin depends on scim.
Then restart X when you finished all above.  You should be able to use scim then.
Show your problem more clearly if you still have problem.  You can open a terminal in X, type "scim" and show us the output on the terminal if scim cannot be started correctly.   Ubuntu and debian support Chinese very well.

=============================
OK, back to your problem, it seems that the package is replaced.  But I have found deb pack of "dpkg-dev" in mirror of ubuntu.  Try to update your database with
sudo apt-get update
and try again.

楼主是否安装了中文语言包？去language选项看看中文是否安装，如果没有先安装，安装完应该可以输入中文了。至于sun-pinyin在debian下依赖关系有点问题ubuntu下还是可以的。

这种问题的话用apt-get 下载不了的可以用新立得软件包管理器看一下能不能找到，如果不能找到的话就换个源：/etc/apt/sources.list

这个的话有两种情况：一是你不是用sudo 或用root运行的。二是你已经运行了另一个apt-get或是开着新立得软件包管理器

dpkg-dev
这个包可以到ubuntu package网站上找,或是debian package的网站上找。

明白的提示就是没有安装scim-pinyin，然后建议你安装Please install following packages:
"( scim-anthy or scim-canna or scim-chewing or scim-pinyin or scim-hangle or scim-prime or scim-skk or scim-tables-additional or scim-m17n or scim-uim or scim-tables-ja or scim-tables-ko or scim-tables-zh )" .
你照着做就是啊，linux首先要自己动手的。

用root执行
#apt-get install scim-pinyin -y
