Hi. What do you mean load needed libraries on it? "It" = "VI" or "It" = "system"?
Im not familiar with chrooted environment? Is this where the admin set the shell of a particular user to limited shell/shellscript/app(for example: pine)? Earl, carl and I had one time created our own "shells". I called my shell "shhh", it didnt have much functionality on it and could only execute a small set of commands and didnt have control on environment variables. Could that situation be considered as chrooted environment? If so, maybe it's only a matter of exporting the correct environement variables (ex: LD_LIBRARY_PAT, perhaps the terminal related envs). In that chrooted environment of yours, can you execute ldd and strace? Those commands can help you in finding out what "VI" needs to run properly. "ldd -r <path to vi>" can show you the library files and the symbols(functions) linked to vi. "strace vi" can help you view the system calls used by vi. ________________________________ From: Olem Babia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, November 6, 2008 11:12:11 PM Subject: [klug] Running VI under a chrooted environment (SSH) Hi list, Do anyone of you have a clear and correct howto or documentation on running VI editor on a chrooted environment? As I am having a lot of difficulties running it specially under edit mode. I successfully managed to run properly other editors such as PICO/NANO. And load needed libraries on it. I'm using Debian Etch 4.0 (32bit) as my system. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Olem
