Thanks. I installed gvim and it does startup, however, it looks terrible ;-(
In the main window, the white background have coloured lines, and all text, both in the edit window and the text on the menu have the same colour (bluish green) background. This colour background to the text just covers the letters as high as the letters are, the colouring is smaller for letter a, c, e and higher for b, d. f etc. The appearance is like one is applying a highlighting to the text. btw, when the gvim started, it printed this warning: Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display 10.40... Also, the machine is remote and I don't have access to the console, I'm running xterm onto my pc. Maybe I'm missing some packages, but then, what packages? btw, sterm is working okay.

Note that gvim is in Solaris 11 already. The version shipped in the release was 7.3, patchlevel 254. If you don't already have it in /usr/bin, then you can run "pkg install gvim" to get it. If you want to rebuild it yourself, feel free to use the same configure options Solaris does, as in http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/userland/gate/components/vim/Makefile If you want a patch to bring it up to the latest version, let me know; I've been keeping a private workspace up to date. That's not to say, though, that your errors come from a badly-built gvim; you might actually be missing fonts that it's trying to use, in which case I can't help much.
