I do not think there is anything funny about the shell I get with :! . I tried :! echo $PATH :! echo $HOME :! which gvim :! gvim --version and got the expected results. It may have something to do with GTK. I am running the default build of vim on FC2, which means GTK2 GUI. Now for the odd part. Someone else suggested that it might be a script problem, so I tried -u NONE and other things. :!gvim " SEGV :!gvim -u ~/.vimrc -U ~/.gvimrc " no problem Yegappan, do you get the same result? Anyone else on GTK? --Benji Fisher
