ltesar: I don't think it's necessary on all distros, but possibly only SuSE. I compile on Debian AMD64 without any extra flags, but I'm already planning to add a note on the next release.
Thanks :- ) - Oct 04 2006

If I ever get around to fixing kanjisaver to not use a header file for kanji info and, rather, actually parse kanjidic/edict, I'll try to set it up to be generic enough to accept other languages. - Mar 07 2006

Installation instructions are in the INSTALL file included with Kanjisaver -- all you should have to do is './configure && make && make install'.
I'm not sure why it would install to /usr/local/kde/ on your system (I'm strictly a Debian guy), but you can set the prefix during the configure step like so: './configure --prefix=/usr'. That should put everything in the right place, unless your kde-config gives strange answers or something. If you can't get it working, please contact me via email and I'll see what I can do.
Only the .desktop file and the binary (kanjisaver.kss) need to be installed. The binary should go in /usr/bin and the .desktop in /usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers . KDE will pick it up then and you can configure it through KControl or by running 'kanjisaver.kss -setup' from the command line.
The setup tool allows you to pick between on and kun readings -- please note that English readings aren't yet available in the release, but kanjisaver from darcs does have them, along with several other changes! There will be a new version soon with several nice new things.
Kanjisaver is also available now directly from Debian's archives.
Hope that helps! - Dec 09 2005

So I developed Kanjisaver separately. It focuses not on subconscious learning, but on improving character recognition, introducing new characters, and on showing some of the intricacies of the shodo (with a nice font!).
Kanjisaver will be going into Debian after the KDE transition -- I'm a maintainer and I already have a sponsor.
