Thanks very much Yakov, just done that and it seems to have worked fine,
there's just a couple of curious things:
1) below is the first part of the output, what are the errors right at
the bottom of this part?
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sh ./vim7-install.sh
This will download, build and install vim7 (using svn).
Select one of the following:
1) You know root password and you want to install
vim globally for all users on this computer
(into /usr/local/bin)
2) You do not know root password or you want to
install vim under your $HOME/bin directory

2) it says I should validate the certificate manually, but how do you
actually go about doing that?
3) the final part of the output is as follows:

**** Warning: directory $HOME/bin is not in you PATH!
**** You need to add directory $HOME/bin to your PATH to run new vim
but if I do the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/bin$ echo $HOME
/the/cussons
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/bin$ echo $PATH
/usr/the_local/bin/:/usr/bin/:/the/cussons/bin/:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:/the/cussons/bin/clewn/:/the/cussons/LeoScript/crudeleo-1.9/
you can see that $HOME/bin is in my PATH, therefore, does your error
message actually mean that as there is a version of vim in /usr/bin/
that this one will be loaded first and therefore, I should place
/the/cussons/bin/ before it in the PATH to give it preference?
1. Just answer 'p' to accept the certificate permanently.
2. The check for $HOME/bin in the path is not comlpete indeed.
a) Type 'type vim' in bash to see which vim is taken, one from
your /usr/bin or from $HOME/bin.
b) Put $HOME/bin to the *front* of your path, before /usr/bin and before
/usr/local/bin and before all other dirs that might contain other
version of vim.
c) Additionally, put this in your .bashrc:
alias vim=$HOME/bin/vim'
d) I recommend that you do both (b) and (c), and then check 'type vim' again.
I will need to fix vim7-install.sh to fix that $HOME/bin in the end.
I need to check that $HOME/bin is before other /usr/* dirs,
not only *somewhere* in the PATH. "Somewhere" in the PATH
is not good check. In your case, script was confused by the trailing
slash in $HOME/bin/, it expects $HOME/bin. I'll fix that, too. Thanks
for reporting.
Yakov
