Hello,
On Ubuntu 16.04, downloaded sources from github, and executed
cd vim
./configure --prefix=/lhome/me/tools
cd src
make
make install
ls /lhome/me/tools/bin does not show any vi. So executed
cd /lhome/me/tools/bin
ln -s /lhome/me/tools/bin/vim vi
$ which vi
/lhome/me/tools/bin/vi
$ ll /lhome/me/tools/bin/vi
lrwxrwxrwx 1 hidden hidden 3 Jul 31 19:01 /lhome/me/tools/bin/vi ->
/lhome/me/tools/bin/vim*
vim --version does show the expected version.
However, vi --version shows some old version!
Why is the old vi being executed even though `which vi` shows the newer
one? And how to get vi to execute the newly installed vim?
$ ll /usr/bin/vi
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Jun 16 2017 /usr/bin/vi ->
/etc/alternatives/vi*
$ ll /etc/alternatives/vi
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Jun 21 2017 /etc/alternatives/vi ->
/usr/bin/vim.gtk3*
Thanks,
--Suresh
