Hi,
I down-loaded the UNIX .tar.bz2 of vim 7.2 and built it for Linux
with no problems. Of course I was logged in as root when I did this. It
also installed beautifully in /usr/local/bin.
Now comes the problem. When I'm logged in as root I can use the
filter commands (!). But when I log in as any other user, it always gives
me an E485 Can't read file /tmp/v975706/1. Of course the numbers after
/tmp/v change from session to session.
My TMPDIR variable is exported to /tmp (as it is when I am root),
and the permissions on /tmp are wide open:
drwxrwxrwt 17 root root 968 2009-04-28 15:57 /tmp
It's odd that it doesn't complain that it cannot create the directory,
only that it cannot read the file from the directory. Could something be
removing the file between when it is made and when vim goes to read it
again?
I desperately need the capability of filtering files in gvim. I
can maybe hack the fileio.c module to get it to work. But I shouldn't
have to. I hope!
Thanks!
