I have done some digging and here is my finding and possible workaround: First, the reason why fcitx-diagnose complains about missing library files is because missing of "fcitx4-config". The fcitx-diagnose script cannot get the library path. The workaround is to install "fcitx-libs-dev" package. Second, the reason I cannot add any input method into fcitx is because no input method is showing in the "input method" box after running fcitx-configtool, even after I unchecked "Only show in current language". I have to trigger those input methods on manually by modifying the profile file located under $HOME/.config/fcitx/profile Let me know if you need any more additional information from me. Hope it helps you fix the bug soon.
