Seems you have hit the nail on the head Yakov, how would I rebuild Vim7
using your script but changing the GUI is it using the --configure
options?
a) install package 'openmotif-devel' or (motif-dev or what's called)
b) ./vim7-install.sh ----enable-gui=motif
Caution: you must make sure motif-dev is instaleld, first.

Thanks very much to everyone who helped with this, I'm afraid I
chickened out in the end and asked the network administrator, he
backported a vim 7 compiled with GTK2 GUI onto my machine, which has
solved the problem.
Many thanks again for all the help,
Rob.
