Yep, that's a problem all right. However, I don't know enough about the Cygwin installation process to know what could have gone wrong. To pursue this further, I'd have to ask the folks on the cygwin mailing list. I would suggest you go to the Cygwin web site and see what you can find about this in the FAQ (http://cygwin.com/faq.html) or in the mailing list archives (http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/). If that doesn't get you anywhere, then read http://cygwin.com/lists.html and http://cygwin.com/problems.html, join the cygwin mailing list and post your question there. > > Something else you might do is execute > > > > vim --version [...] > Linking: > gcc -L/usr/local/lib -o vim.exe -lncurses -liconv -lintl > > > > > and will show whether or nor your vim was linked with the ncurses > > library. It was, so that's further evidence that vim itself is OK and that your problem is in your Cygwin installation. > I have also installed the libncurses-devel 5.5-3 packages. But > that did not change anything... No, that won't change anything unless your are compiling an application that uses ncurses.
