I used to use RH9 and was VERY happy with three features of vim (6.1.320)
1) almost everything was syntax highlighted, including, for example, httpd.conf.
2) when i edited a file, vim remembered the last position I was at
3) the help worked
Having moved to Centos-4 (RHEL) (vim 6.3.046) none of these work any more.
I do get some syntax highlighting - for example of .cpp files - but
.conf files etc don't get highlighted anymore, and no file positions
are remembered.
When I try to use help I get something like
"quickref.txt.gz" [readonly][noeol] 83L, 20610C
E434: Can't find tag pattern
then quickref.txt.gz is loaded binary.
I've tried to find the cause myself by comparing the vimrc files etc,
and by searching google, but not found any answers. I even found and
installed v7 (from the rpm at
http://www.karan.org/blog/index.php/2006/05/10/p139) but this gives
exactly the same issues.
I have the following vim packages installed:
vim-common.i386 2:7.0.000-2.el4.kb installed
vim-enhanced.i386 2:7.0.000-2.el4.kb installed
vim-minimal.i386 2:7.0.000-2.el4.kb installed
Any ideas?
TIA
Dave
