Hi,
I am trying to install VIM to my HOME directory. I dont have root user
privileges.
When I try
./configure --prefix=$HOME
I get this error:
termcap library is not usable
checking for tgetent in -lcurses... yes
curses library is not usable
no terminal library found
checking for tgetent()... configure: error: NOT FOUND!
You need to install a terminal library; for example ncurses.
Or specify the name of the library with --with-tlib.
Is there any idea what is wrong?
See: http://vimhelp.appspot.com/vim_faq.txt.html#faq-35.10
In particular, step 4). You're missing dependencies.
If you can't install those dependencies, you might be better off just
finding a "portable" Vim of some sort. Most "portable" apps seem to be
oriented toward { Windows + thumb-drive } users. Anyone know of a
*nix-y equivalent?
