I guess I don't really have to recompile it; I just couldn't find any more recent binary than 6.3 for my platform, and I thought, as long as I'm trying to get it to run, I should do the best install I could. We already have a binary of 6.1, and one of our users complains that he has some problems with it. Maybe his problems are actually related to the possibly incomplete X install.
I could compile the non-GUI version, but if the user is already addicted to the GUI, that's going backwards. I'm just hesitant to make changes to anything that could affect my coworkers adversely. I guess I'll try compiling the non-GUI. I've poked around in the Makefile; I guess I was just hoping someone else had seen the same problem before. -----Original Message----- From: Smith Eric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2006 9:32 AM To: Anne Wall Subject: RE: Cannot compile vim 7.0 A quick scan for "Xm.h" reveals that it is a Motif header file; you would need to install any required Motif header files (i.e., the associated development package), or alternatively compile the non GUI version (via the appropriate switch). This is "Compiling 101" type stuff, and you should probably consult a "compilation from sources" tutorial before you continue. Why do you need to recompile Vim? Why not just use the appropriate binaries? On Redhat: yum -y install vim Provided of course yum has been set up :) --Eric BTW, Google is your friend: "google Xm.h". -----Original Message----- From: Anne Wall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 October 2006 04:14 PM To: Vim Mailing List Subject: RE: Cannot compile vim 7.0 Do you mean X Windows? Motif? We're running X Windows, and it seems like it has no problems. How would I tell if that's the problem? Do I need to reinstall X Windows to get vim to compile? {shudder} -----Original Message----- From: Vigil [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2006 4:04 AM To: Vim Mailing List Subject: Re: Cannot compile vim 7.0 Perhaps X is not fully installed.
