I successfully compiled vim 7 on Mac OS X, but neglected to set options for things like Python, Perl, and digraphs, etc... I did the following to re-compile: make distclean ./configure --enable-perlinterp --enable-pythoninterp --enable- tclinterp --enable-fontset --with-features=huge make

Re: Overflow when striking Ctrl-a on a large number

With the possible support for python and perl, you can perform just about any calculation you would want to do. For example: :py print 31.25 * 3= 93.75 or :!perl -e 'print 14.275 * 2' = 28.55 Obviously you can get a lot more complicated than that. Kevin On Dec 3, 2006, at 11:16 AM, Bram

I agree with Chip and have a recommendation. Since you have been using Vim, Perl will be much easier to learn. A very good beginning book on Perl is located at http:// learn.perl.org/library/beginning_perl/ . It is not as thorough as the 'Camel' book, but has a lot of good info. and the
