I have the same problem. Installing vim 7.0 source in Suse 10.1, I always get
--enable-gui argument... no GUI support

I have xorg-x11-devel installed. I have installed libgnome-devel. No
luck. Any idea?

I suspect that you do the following after unpacking the vim 7.0 source files:

 make
 su (as root)
 make install
 exit

Normally that procedure puts the vim executable in /usr/local/bin .
Note that you did not remove any previous versions of vim -- they're probably
still there.

So, do the following:

 echo $PATH

Does your path as shown by the preceding command to the shell perhaps show
/usr/bin  or /etc preceding /usr/local/bin?  Try

 whence vim

and, if I'm right, you'll find that the vim you compiled and installed isn't the one being executed. The solution: either remove the older copies of vim or, preferably, change the PATH so /usr/local/bin precedes /usr/bin, /bin/, or wherever the older
vim was found.
