Hi all,

I tried to compile graphical Vim 7.1 on Mandriva 2007. I downloaded
vim-7.1.tar.bz2, untarred it, and did the following from the top level
directory created (vim71):

./configure --enable-gui
make
src/vim -g

The following error message appeared:

E25: GUI cannot be used: Not enabled at compile time


I retried, after make distclean, with the following configure options:

enable-gui=gtk
enable-gui=gtk2
enable-gui=auto

All produced the same error:

E25: GUI cannot be used: Not enabled at compile time

I chose not to perform make install in order to preserve the integrity of my
existing Vim 7.0 that came with Mandriva 2007.

Anyone know how to compile graphical Vim on Mandriva 2007, or at least some
diagnostic tests I can use to narrow down the problem?

You need to install gtk2-devel package. Also, the x11-devel package if
it's not installed.
The exact names of packages may vary between distributions. But the
idea is, you are
missing development packages (*-devel or *-dev) needed to compile GUI
functionality of vim.
