Tony, Mathias,
Thanks for all the help. Starting VIM gives me
version 7.0.034, and all is well. And actually, I was
using Mac OS X, but I installed it without GUI
support. I actually installed it with these options:
--enable-gui=no
--prefix=/usr
--with-features=huge
--enable-multibyte
Do I need to run ./configure (with options), make, and
make install after every patch to keep these options
going? (sorry to dump all this on you. I'm still
fairly new to doing Unix installs/updates, but I'm
pretty sure once you answer this question I'll be all
set!)
Thanks again,
Rick
