hi all,

when i  try to start gvim from the desktop icon or the unity launcher
the gvim process shows up for a few seconds when i run "top" in the
shell but doesn't start. When I enter the same command in the shell
"gvim -f %F" gvim starts without errors. Any ideas?

Thanx Andi


Any messages on stderr?

I had this recently (gvim wouldn't start from a desktop shortcut) after an OS upgrade but console Vim wouldn't start either. stderr messages seemed to imply that the perl library could not be found. "make reconfig" followed by "make install" fixed it (with the make variables defined beforehand as environment variables).

Best regards,
Tony.
