Hi Charles Perhaps you are building Vim with the Lesstif library. Lesstif does not implement everything present in Motif. Perhaps that's the cause of those messages (not sure). Motif was a proprietary library for a long time (hence the free alternative Lesstif) but Motif is now LGPL. Your Linux distribution may have packages for Motif which can supersede Lesstif. At least Ubuntu has packages for either Lesstif or Motif. I don't know about Scientific Linux. But anyway, both Lesstif or Motif are rather old and quite buggy in my opinion, due to poor type checking in the APIs and badly documented memory management causing leaks in many Motif GUIs. It also predates Unicode so I don't think that Lesstif or Motif Vim GUI support Unicode among other things. You'd be better with the gtk2 GUI.
