Hello,

I have a question about prebinding with packages installed by fink.
(NB I am not at my Mac now, so I may have mis-remembered some environment
variable names etc)

I have installed vim using fink and noticed that vim takes an annoyingly
long time to start up when invoked from the command line. I checked dyld
by setting DYLD_DEBUG_PREBINDING (?)  and sure enough it says that it
cannot use prebinding because at least one of the libraries (that was
also installed by fink) it links against weren't enabled for prebinding.

I tried a couple of things with update_prebinding and redo_prebinding
without success, but I really don't understand how these commands are
supposed to work.

As an aside, I noticed that when X11 is running, then both vim and gvim
start up almost instantly. Perhaps this is why many fink users wouldn't
notice the problem. I also tried (without X11 running ) starting a second
vim process while one is already running, but the second process is just
as slow as the first.

In the immediate term, can someone tell me how I can get vim (and other
programs installed by fink) to use prebinding ?

In the longer term, is it the case that package porters could/should
use something like LDFLAGS = -prebinding by default ?

Thanks,

Luke Whitaker
