An unofficial japanization patch was created:

ical-2.2-jp1.patch
to allow japanese input with kinput2 and cut-and-paste of an X-selected string by selecting "Insert Text" in the "Edit" menu.

[2] How to Build Ical from SRC

The Ical RPM building procedure is described in its spec file:
jp-ical-2.2-1.spec

The point is to apply the above JP-patch and compile the patched source files with CC_OPTS='-O -DKANJI -DKINPUT2'.
You can rebuild the RPM using its corresponding SRPM as:

# rpm --rebuild <somewhere>/jp-ical-2.2-1B.src.rpm

[3] How to Install Ical

Before installing jp-ical, update your Mklinux to DR2.1update4 or later: the package requires the full shared library support coming with DR2.1update4.

Onece the update is completed, the rest is a piece of cake.

First install a shared version of the japanized tcl7.6/tk4.2 combo:

# rpm -U <somewhere>/jp-tcltk-7.6p2_4.2p2-1A.ppc.rpm
if you haven't.

Otherwise, go straight ahead to the installation of Ical:

# rpm -U <somewhere>/jp-ical-2.2-1B.ppc.rpm

In order to input Japanese characters, you have to have kinput2 started.
