>Vim: Caught deadly signal ABRT
The poster then says the problem was corrected when s/he installed a
*newer* vim package. I need to build vim from source since the distro
package does not include all the features I use. I notice that
yesterday, by some coincidence, someone posted a follow up to this
question saying he was having this same problem "using vim-7.2.tar.bz"
which is the source. I have used this source more than a few times on
fedora and debian systems without a problem, it has been considered
stable for more than a year.
Googling for this "caught deadly signal" does not produce any relevant
hits besides here. I've been a member of the vim (user) mailing-list
for a while, and it has not been mentioned there. I did an strace; vim
does completely process the vimrc file and then aborts somewhat after
that -- in any case, as per the original question, it happens with a
completely empty .vimrc file.
If updating the vim package back in October fixed the problem, this
implies somebody at ubuntu is aware of what it was (and solved the
problem by hacking the vim source -- tisk!). Any help you could provide
would be much appreciated, my OS is basically a platform for vim ;) and
this would make ubuntu unusable for me.
