please be patient with me, I'm new to mac and only moderately proficient in Linux/Unix systems (hopefully that does not last too long)
I tried installing macvim from Homebrew, but found that it ignored my rvm selected ruby and forced itself to compile against the system 1.8.7 ruby. Since Homebrew is a package manage and it selects parts of the config for me, I decided to compile macvim from the source, which i cloned off of github. The configure I ran was ./configure --with-features=huge --enable-rubyinterp --enable-pythoninterp --enable-python3interp --enable-perlinterp --enable-cscope --enable-multibyte --enable-tclinterp --enable-luainterp --enable-mzschemeinterp --enable-tclinterp and then I ran make, which SUCCEEDED and then make install with no arguments When I run $ open /Applications/MacVim.app/ I get the message: The application cannot be opened because its executable is missing. When I try to execute Applications/bin/Vim I get the following error E254: Cannot allocate color Red E254: Cannot allocate color White E254: Cannot allocate color Blue E254: Cannot allocate color Red E254: Cannot allocate color Grey E254: Cannot allocate color Blue E254: Cannot allocate color Brown E254: Cannot allocate color Brown E254: Cannot allocate color SeaGreen E254: Cannot allocate color SeaGreen E254: Cannot allocate color Yellow E254: Cannot allocate color Red E254: Cannot allocate color Blue E254: Cannot allocate color Magenta E254: Cannot allocate color DarkCyan E254: Cannot allocate color Black E254: Cannot allocate color LightMagenta E254: Cannot allocate color Grey E254: Cannot allocate color Blue E254: Cannot allocate color Magenta E254: Cannot allocate color Red E254: Cannot allocate color Yellow E254: Cannot allocate color Black E254: Cannot allocate color LightGrey E254: Cannot allocate color DarkBlue E254: Cannot allocate color Grey E254: Cannot allocate color DarkBlue E254: Cannot allocate color Grey E254: Cannot allocate color DarkBlue E254: Cannot allocate color LightGrey E254: Cannot allocate color LightBlue E254: Cannot allocate color LightMagenta E254: Cannot allocate color Blue E254: Cannot allocate color LightCyan E254: Cannot allocate color LightGrey E254: Cannot allocate color Grey90 E254: Cannot allocate color Grey90 E254: Cannot allocate color LightRed E254: Cannot allocate color DarkGrey E254: Cannot allocate color LightGrey E254: Cannot allocate color Cyan Error detected while processing /Users/<username omitted>/.vimrc: line 4: E484: Can't open file /Applications/bin/vim/runtime/syntax/syntax.vim so I tried creating a vim folder in that dir to copy runtime over, but I got an error because apparently mac does not permit having a file and a folder named the same in a directory. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
