vim-gnome installs both 'vim' and 'gvim' as symlinks to the same binary. When a vim binary is invoked as 'vim' it launches terminal vim, and when it's invoked as 'gvim' it launches gui vim (as long as gui support was compiled in). Either way, the same features were compiled into the binary, so ruby support is there whether you launch that vim binary as 'vim' or as 'gvim'. ~Matt -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
