as an Input Method, I would think it would strictly be for
ENTERING(typing) Chinese etc. and, it is only needed if another
package you need specifically calls for it. xim provides a similar
functionality but not in a compatible manner. scim-bridge requires
scim and scim-libs. I can't tell you what other packages require scim
or scim-libs as I don't have any of those installed.

Scim is being replaced by ibus. It should be available on CentOS-6,
though I don't think I ever got it to build on CentOS 5.

Yes, it's frequently used for Eastern languages--I use it to input
Japanese. It isn't necessary to read Chinese, for that, all she would
need would be fonts.

on Fedora, I ditched scim for ibus - much better and much more recent
development... my wife is Chinese so it is of interest to me.

I don't have CentOS 6 installed anywhere, maybe never will. You probably
want to check for ibus and use that instead of scim.

In my earlier reply I missed the CentOS 5.6 part. I didn't try all that
hard, but I wasn't able to build ibus on it--it needed some newer
somethings---glibc?

It is available for CentOS 6.x however.
