Since CentOS 5.2 uses libraries a bit older than the systems I normally test on, I setup a VM to see if it was something specific to the library/toolchain versions in 5.2. I installed CentOS, made a fresh clone of the Vim repository, updated to the vim73 branch, and ran the configure line you gave above. Everything ran fine for me and I was able to build Vim. Given that, I'm not sure why you're seeing different results, unless the different architecture is affecting things somehow (your 64-bit x86_64 vs. my 32-bit x86). -- James GPG Key: 1024D/61326D40 2003-09-02 James Vega <james...@jamessan.com> -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
