[tbox-l] vim usage issue

[Kiran N. M. <kir...@ya...>]

Hello:

On my AIX 5100-04 machine, I see two copies of vim:
I /usr/local/bin/vim 
(apparently open source compiled by someone in-house on 2002Dec5)
II /opt/freeware/bin/vim
(most likely from IBM Provided CD, compiled on 2002 Apr 23)
Both executables have a problem wherein apart from moving the
cursor around no significant editing operation is possible (yields
the error "E363: pattern caused out-of-stack error").

$ rpm -qa | grep vim yields:
vim-common-6.0.147-1
vim-minimal-6.0.147-1
vim-enhanced-6.0.147-1
vim-X11-6.0.147-1

$ ulimit -a | grep stack shows:
stack(kbytes)     4194304

Any help/clues?

Thanks,
Kiran

I'm seeing the same issue on a few of my 5200-03 boxes, but not all. 
Even though I get the error, my editing operations succeed.

Please try downloading vim 6.0.147-5, which was just updated the other day 
to include a fix for this issue. You can get it from the following 
location:

ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/vim/

Thanks Philip, this worked!  However, I don't see gvim in this
bundle and vim --version says it's a "Huge Version, without GUI."
Is any release schedule about the GUI version known?  Thanks.

Regards,
Kiran

vim is split into different packages depending on whether you want the
graphical version or not.  You can get gvim in the "vim-X11" package.

$ rpm -qa |grep vim
vim-enhanced-6.0.147-5
vim-minimal-6.0.147-5
vim-X11-6.0.147-5
vim-common-6.0.147-5

vim-enhanced contains the "Huge version, without GUI" ("vim").
vim-minimal contains the "Tiny version without GUI."  ("vi").
vim-X11 contains the "Huge version with GTK GUI."  ("gvim").
vim-common has common files required for all of the above packages, and
must be installed as a requirement for any of the other three.

Thanks David, I do see all four packages listed but I don't see
gvim under /opt/freeware/bin the way I do see vim et.al.

You're right; I didn't realize that.
It's actually in /usr/bin/X11/gvim, so you will want /usr/bin/X11 in your path.
If you are running X applications like xterm (etc) that directory is usually
in your path already, but if not you can add it.

Correct.  I was trying to locate the executable using vanilla
telnet (that is before starting the resource intensive ReflectionX
on my laptop) and hence not seeing it.
