I don't know much about the "Scientific Linux" distribution. But on Ubuntu, it is possible to do... $ sudo apt-get build-dep vim-gnome ... which installs all packages required to be able to build vim-gnome. This installs gtk2 among plenty of other things if not already installed. Doing a google search suggests that "yum-builddep" is the equivalent feature on Scientific Linux. So have you tried the following command? $ sudo yum-builddep vim-gnome (not sure whether "vim-gnome" is the package name on your distrib for the GTK2 version of Vim). Then should you need to clean the configure cache and rebuild Vim from sources: $ cd vim $ rm -f src/auto/config.cache $ ./configure --with-feature=huge --enable-gui=gtk2 Regards Dominique -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
