The fact that you're using an iMac isn't particularly relevant. What would have been more relevant would be whether you're using the stable or unstable tree version of the vim package. However, since I am able to reproduce your error with the stable tree vim, I'll just assume that that is what you're running. Normally, the solution would be to have the maintainer move the (working) unstable package over to stable, but since CVS is down, that's going to be impossible. I'll cc him anyway, to make sure he knows about the issue, as not all maintainers read the lists. To get a working gvim, do the following: 1) Turn on the unstable tree with "fink configure" 2) Run "fink selfupdate-rsync" Then, if you don't want to use the unstable tree just yet: 3) run "sudo chown -R <your username> /sw/fink/dists/local" (for some reason that defaults to being owned by root, unlike the unstable and stable trees) 4) run "mkdir -p /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo" 5) run "cp /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/editors/vim.info /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo" 6) run "fink configure" again and turn off the unstable tree. 7) Make sure that local/main is in your list of package trees. You should be able to see that using "fink -V". If it isn't, you'll need to edit /sw/etc/fink.conf as a superuser and add that to the Trees: line. - -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk1KzK8ACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ+14gCfTkysyWE3BWJ68X8g1CqEv8sI Yf8AmwQy9uXcEI5BldalbEMo98dQgiO2 =yt1M -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
