There may not be an ebuild for it, but vim can also be compiled against Xlibs (or at least that used to be possible!). If you go that route the only GUI dependencies are the libraries required for a minimal X system. It looks like hell, but it works fine. Vim's the only editor I know of that can be compiled against all of the major widget libraries (Gtk, KDE, Motif, Win32, Xlib, or just console based) - you get to pick how much "bloat" you are willing to tolerate. On the bloat vs. useful features scale, vim does better than any other editor I know of... The only downside, IMHO, is the learning curve... Josh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
