Chris, MacVim already comes with a compiled version of vim with it and it does not use Lion's default. But if still want to use your new local copy of vim then create a symbolic link to your copy in /path/to/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/. Within terminal switch to that directory and do:
mv Vim Vim_backup ln -s /usr/local/bin/vim Vim Of course, I have no idea how MacVim will behave if you do this. If you want to revert your changes then either re-download MacVim or from the same directory described above do: rm Vim mv Vim_backup Vim Regards, Danny On Nov 9, 2011, at 6:17 PM, Christopher J.
