Thanks for the reply. I can compile (Hello World) using gcc without problem. I removed --host and --build but still got the same error. Not sure what "C compiler cannot create executables" means. I'll try to follow Tony's URL when I get a chance. BTW, I use WinSCP for now so that I can edit Unix file using my Windows gvim editor. Better than nothing. ========== ==>./configure --prefix=$PREFIX configure: loading cache auto/config.cache checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for gcc... cc checking whether the C compiler works... no configure: error: in `/home/aho/usr/src/vim74/src': configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. ========= > On Linux, a single executable can (if compiled with the necessary > > features) run both as a GUI or in a terminal depending on how it is invoked. > > > > See http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Getting_the_Vim_source_with_Mercurial > > about getting the source and > > http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm about > > compiling Vim in general. > > > > By default, Vim will install under /usr/local (most files in > > /usr/local/share/vim/vim74/ and the executable in /usr/local/bin/) but > > that normally requires running at least the last part ("make install") > > with root privileges. > > > > To install under your home directory instead, and do away with the "root > > privileges" requirement, you may add to the script to be sourced before > > running make (as in the compunix.htm HowTo page mentioned above) the line > > > > export CONF_ARGS='--prefix=~' > > > > which should (IIUC) use ~/bin instead of /usr/local/bin and > > ~/share/vim/vim74 instead of /usr/local/share/vim/vim74.
