Hi Michael,

What I've done is download the Vim from the macvim site and then

so that I don't mess with OS X's binaries at all. I can use it
graphically or from my terminal this way too. I use it from the
terminal all the time, since OS X has such a nice terminal :)

Might work for you Peter?

Yes it might. Actually it does :) Thanks.

It probably is a good idea for me to stay away from the binaries. That
is getting far too involved anyway.

Thanks again,
Peter


You may need to compile them yourself if you want to keep abreast of bugfixes (there were 4 new ones tonight, bringing the number to 205). It's not really hard once you get the hang of it. My http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm might help you some; though you would have to take into account the differences between my Linux and your MacOsX.

Just adding a few links in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin, such as

ln -sv /Applications/Vim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim vim
ln -sv vim view
ln -sv vim vi
ln -sv vim vimdiff
ln -sv vim gvim
ln -sv gvim gview
ln -sv gvim gvimdiff

etc., might be enough.


Best regards,
Tony.
