understood. that one I had fixed by installing flex individually.
again, thanks a lot for your help! I can now active `alias vi=vile' and
EDITOR=vile in my .kshrc and
be happy again.
Excellent, I'm glad it all worked out.
If you investigate 'alternatives' (man update-alternatives) you can
make vile your vi for everyone and everything, including root. It's
handy for root at least so that you get vile when editing config files
and such in /etc.
I will have to look into this, thank you (linux userland and customs really are
somewhat
different from osx/bsd :)).
