As said (several times)-- by enabling the "vim-with-x" USE flag. /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc:app-editors/vim:vim-with-x - Link console vim against X11 libraries to *enable title and clipboard features* in xterm Enabling the USE flag enables the ./configure option. If dependencies are needed to satisfy the option, they will be installed automatically before the package itself emerges. *This is what USE flags do*-- they enable or disable optional support for stuff, enabling you to customize your system and its packages. So if I don't need the clipboard features of vim, I don't have to have them, but if you do, you can. Voila! It's Gentoo!! :-) . Holly -- [email protected] mailing list
