Where To Get gvim

[banjo]

My Mandrake 9.1 came with Vim that was not

compiled for the graphical UI. I would really love

to get gvim running on my computer since that is

my editor of choice.

 

Anybody know where I can get an rpm that

has gvim enabled. I know I can build it from

source, but I have no real desire to do that if

I can just download it and install the bins.

 

 

Thanks in advance

there are many websites where one can search for RPM files

 

possibly this is what you want: http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/mandrake/upd....1mdk.i586.html

Thanks for the pointer. I am new at Linux,

so I am just finding my way around.

 

Should I unistall the Vim that is there before

I install a new one, or can I just update?

Any tips or a pointer to a HOWTO would be

appreciated.

Generally, you do want to keep them the same.

localhost:/# rpm -qa | grep vim

vim-minimal-6.1-36mdk

vim-X11-6.1-36mdk

vim-enhanced-6.1-36mdk

vim-common-6.1-36mdk

localhost:/#

This is ML9.1's default so don't use the link above :roll: :wink: Find the version you want and look at the 'Requires' on the page.
