I couldn't find any more recent binaries than 6.3, but I did find the RPMs for that, so I installed it, and the populace is happy and peaceful.
Thanks for your help! I'm grateful for your kind advice. I was under some wrong impressions, especially thinking it's important to compile the source yourself. I tried redirecting my Motif directories to the correct ones, as it mentioned in the Makefile, but that didn't help. WELL, I take it back. It did properly find Print.h, so that was an improvement. It had errors, though, so not fixed. I did try to compile after diabling the GUI, but I still had the same problems. Then I finally wised up and gave up, went looking for binaries, and looked away, whistling, as I left the directory full of lovely vim source code to slowly gather dust and cd'd back to home. -----Original Message----- From: Smith Eric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2006 9:32 AM To: Anne Wall Subject: RE: Cannot compile vim 7.0 A quick scan for "Xm.h" reveals that it is a Motif header file; you would need to install any required Motif header files (i.e., the associated development package), or alternatively compile the non GUI version (via the appropriate switch). This is "Compiling 101" type stuff, and you should probably consult a "compilation from sources" tutorial before you continue. Why do you need to recompile Vim? Why not just use the appropriate binaries? On Redhat: yum -y install vim Provided of course yum has been set up :) --Eric BTW, Google is your friend: "google Xm.h". -----Original Message----- From: Anne Wall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 October 2006 04:14 PM To: Vim Mailing List Subject: RE: Cannot compile vim 7.0 Do you mean X Windows? Motif? We're running X Windows, and it seems like it has no problems. How would I tell if that's the problem? Do I need to reinstall X Windows to get vim to compile? {shudder} -----Original Message----- From: Vigil [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2006 4:04 AM To: Vim Mailing List Subject: Re: Cannot compile vim 7.0 Perhaps X is not fully installed.
