Thanks Yakov, I can't find them anywhere in the distribution packages. Funny thing is, Gnome works, and Mandriva managed to get a working 7.0 version of gvim installed on the machine as a package. Is there any way I can look at the error message and find out exactly what filename it's looking for? Perhaps it's just a missing symlink.
