So I think you should figure out why your runtimepath is wrong; perhaps you have VIMRUNTIME set in your .profile? Normally the netrw in your ~/.vim should be loaded first and thereby prevent the loading of the system netrw (ie. prevent the loading of v110), so if you get your runtimepath issue worked out netrw v112b should come up even though the /usr/local/share/vim/vim71 still has v110. >do i need to write a script to whack the netrws on >/usr/local/share and run it at the tail end of my install >script, or do you have a better suggestion? > > Fix your runtimepath!
