You can compile vim as an unprivileged user and install it in your home directory. Tony Mechelynck has a nice tutorial on compiling Vim in general: http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm You'll want to modify that a bit to change the "prefix" for the installation to be within your home directory. Vim's documentation has more explanation: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/usr_90.html See the section on "SELECTING FEATURES" in the above link. The ``--prefix`` option allows you to target your home directory instead of /usr/local as the expected installation location. If you get stuck, I'm sure the list will be able to help you get past any compilation issues. Michael Henry -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
