I've built it from source here and the process went ok, but when trying to run it, I am not able to type anything, I can't even get into insert mode. I'm running OSX 10.5.8.
I've been using MacVim stable since I started to use a Mac, but now I want all the new features from the snapshots :) Do you have any idea of what may be causing it? In the meanwhile, I've checkout tag snapshot-51 from git and will try and see if it runs ok after building. Anyway, when will we see a new stable version? Thanks for such a nice project!
