Building Vim on HP-UX was pretty simple for me, but that could have been because the required libraries and headers just happened to have been already installed on the systems I was using. Early versions of HP-UX used to be pretty complete, though. You can install Vim anywhere you have permission to do so (such as your $HOME directory) with the --prefix option to configure. To get color to work on HP-UX, you may also have to add the --with-tlib=curses option to configure. Regards, Gary -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
