Thanks for the link. I managed to install Vim 7

Now, what packages do I need to build a Gnome binary on Ubuntu 6.06 
(Dapper)? It's years since I last ran Linux, so I'm fumbling around.


I've obtained the Vim7 sources through Subversion. Here's what I get 
when I run ./configure:

checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of executables...

checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes

checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E
checking for egrep... grep -E
checking for library containing strerror... none required
checking for gawk... no
