This finishes the server installation. Now the emacs frontend must be installed. To install it, follow these steps, based on the <a href="hoka/vebu/prime-for-emacs.html">Prime emacs frontend installation guide</a>, originally found <a href="http://taiyaki.org/prime/emacs/">here</a>.</p> <ul> <li>Install APEL.

Download <a href="hoka/vebu/prime-el-1.5.1.3.tar.gz">the prime-el package</a> from <a href="http://prime.sourceforge.jp/src/">the prime-el distribution site</a>. <table bgcolor="#000000" border="1"><tr><td border="0"><font color="#FFFF00"><b>$ wget -c <a href="http://prime.sourceforge.jp/src/prime-el-1.5.1.3.tar.gz">http://prime.sourceforge.jp/src/prime-el-1.5.1.3.tar.gz</a></b></td></tr></table></p>

Install. <table bgcolor="#000000" border="1"><tr><td border="0"><font color="#FFFF00"><b>$ cd prime-el-1.5.1.3<br />$./configure<br />$ make<br />$ make install<br />$ make install-etc</b></td></tr></table></p></li> </ul>

Now, to finish the installation, modify you <strong>.emacs</strong> file, according to <a href="hoka/vebu/mell.html">MELL installation guide</a>, originally found <a href="http://taiyaki.org/elisp/mell/">here</a> and the <a href="hoka/vebu/prime-for-emacs.html">Prime emacs frontend installation guide</a>, originally found <a href="http://taiyaki.org/prime/emacs/">here</a>.</p>

Add the following lines to your <strong>.emacs</strong> file:</p>

;;; MELL (Emacs Lisp ライブラリ) (require 'init-mell) ;;; Suikyo (ローマ字ひらがな変換ライブラリ) (require 'init-suikyo) ;;; PRIME for Emacs (require 'init-prime) (setq prime-toggle-key "C-xC-j") (global-set-key prime-toggle-key 'japanese-prime)</p>

Now restart emacs. After this, when you hit C-x C-j prime input will start and you can type predictivelly.</p>

However, under cygwin, Prime still doesn't run.</p>

For some reason emacs get stuck in busy mode, displaying the clock, after displaying the message:</p>
