You must be missing the libraries to build the GUI. Since you use ubuntu, you can install all the dependent packages required to build gvim (gtk2) using: $ sudo apt-get build-dep vim-gnome Then remove src/vim/auto/config.cache, reconfigure and build: $ cd vim $ rm src/auto/config.cache $ ./configure --with-features=huge --enable-gui=gtk2 $ make -j4 $ make test $ make install Regards Dominique -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
