Thanks Yakov,
I can't find them anywhere in the distribution packages. Funny thing is, Gnome
works, and Mandriva managed to get a working 7.0 version of gvim installed on
the machine as a package.
Yes, this is expected. Because "build-dependencies" of vim-gtk
are bigger than run-dependencies. If your packaging system is apt-get, then
you can see names of packages to install with
this command:
apt-get build-dep vim-gtk # install all devel packages
# needed to rebuild vim-gtk
If your packaging system is rpm or some else, then it's not that
straightforward to find names of the missing packages, those
packages that are needed to rebuild vim-gtk. Use rpmfind.net if your
packaging system is rpm.
