Hi,
I downloaded the vim 7.0 package to my RedHat Enterprise 3 machine.
I do not have administrator previlidge, so I setup the env like this:
export DESTDIR=<my_dir>
export prefix=<my_dir>
Then I run
make
make install
But when I run vim, <my_dir>/usr/local/bin/vim, I get this error:
Error detected while processing /home/linq/.vimrc:
line 10:
E484: Can't open file /usr/local/share/vim/syntax/syntax.vim
Press ENTER or type command to continue
Line 10 of my vimrc is: syntax on
I am wondering why it still goes to /usr/local to look for data
files. Is there a way I can control this?
By the way, in throwing the above error message, VIM starts, but it
is not GUI mode even though I have -g in the command, is that because
of the above problem?
Thanks.
Uncomment line 858
#prefix = $(HOME)
in src/Makefile (IIUC, the runtime files will end up in
$(prefix)/share/vim/vim70/ and, if exec-prefix is not set, the executable(s)
will end up in $(prefix)/bin/, which should be in the $PATH.)
then, set your configure options and
cd src
make reconfig > ../make.log 2>&1
ls -l vim
./vim --version |more
and, if the last two look OK,
make install
Best regards,
Tony.

I have yet to see any problem, however complicated, which, when looked
at in the right way, did not become still more complicated.
