I have generated RPMs for Fedora 8. The only thing missing on the 
development system I just installed was perl-XML-Parser and scim-devel. 
You may also need libxkbfile-devel.

Once the above were installed, I generated rpms by typing

sudo rpmbuild -tb kmflcomp-0.9.6.tar.gz

and installing the resulting rpms (except debuginfo).

then

sudo rpmbuild -tb libkmflcomp-0.9.6.tar.gz


and installing the resulting rpms (except debuginfo).

then

sudo rpmbuild -tb scim-kmfl-imengine-0.9.6.tar.gz

and installing scim-kmfl-imengine-0.9.6-1fc8.i586.rpm.

I know there is a way of generating rpms as nonroot but I was lazy and I 
was doing this on a virtual machine so the risk was minimal.

I can email you the RPMs if you wish. I am hesitant to upload them to 
sourceforge. I am not really interested in trying to generate RPMs for 
every distro under the sun every time there is a new version of kmfl.
