Very good instructions, indeed. > 1) is there anything I should do to compile Vim on a 64 bit system? Nothing special. Just make sure you have the development packages installed in your Ubuntu. Which ones depend on the configuration you choose for your Vim. In mine I had to get the development packages and libraries for Perl and Python. I don't remember the name of the packages, but they're not difficult to find. libc6-dev you will need, for sure, > 2) how do I know which ones are the new patches?

Following Tony's instructions is quite easy to write an script to automate all the tasks. > 3) how may I know all the available options to compile Vim with? Tricky. Unless you really HATE some option (or support) that came with one of the "flavors" of VIM (tiny, small, big, huge), I strongly recommend you to stick to one of these. Probably a "big" version will be enough for you. In any case, ":help feature-list" and ":help install" within a running Vim. I may have not mentioned it: STICK TO ONE OF THE BASICS "FLAVORS" of Vim if you can live with it. It is much easier and you can rebuild when you are an expert in enabling and disabling features (some of them depend on others, so it is a bit tricky to get only what you want). > In that guide there are configuration options to compile it with the > Python interface etc. I'd like UTF8 support and maybe some other > things. See ":help feature-list", but I would bet that a big version will be enough for you. -- Raúl "DervishD" Núñez de Arenas Coronado Linux Registered User 88736 | http://www.dervishd.net It's my PC and I'll cry if I want to...
