So, "it should work". I want to have a setup just like other users would have it, building Perl myself is not something I would tell everybody to do. It might be something about how the .dll was build. Might even be a problem with using a 32 bit .dll on a 64 bit machine. What is the best way to find out where it crashes? -- $ echo pizza > /dev/oven /// Bram Moolenaar -- [email protected] -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ an exciting new programming language -- http://www.Zimbu.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org /// -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
