You don't need to be root to install Vim. Just install it in another directory where you have permission. You can use the --prefix option of configure to indicate where to install Vim: $ mkdir $HOME/local $ cd vim $ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local --with-features=huge --enable-gui=gtk2 $ make $ make test $ make install And then make sure that $HOME/local/bin is in your PATH: $ export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH -- Dominique -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
