VIM fails - sorry John
John, I was really excited about the VIM offering. It and Elvis are my editors of choice.JohnMurga wrote:And another two (re: VIM) ...
But, vim fails due to missing libtermcap.so.2 saying:
"vim: error while loading shared libraries: libtermcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
(note: I installed it as "vim" in order to not conflict with the existing BusyBox vi.)
Please do succed at this. I really do want a real VIM package. Take that as encouragement.

vim working for me (not installed as above though)
Hi - been away from forum for over a month due to move and ensuing lack of internet, playing catch up. In case anyone is still having trouble with vim, I found it rather easy to get running a couple of months ago and use it all the time... I totally dig it! One of you wrote above that vim has most of vi functionality: it actually has many times what vi has! I have been one of those odd vi crazy folk for years now, mostly because I got sick of emacs years ago and never wanted to try and learn a third editor, finally tried vim because vi was hosed on puppy... can't believe I waited all this time. I don't recall the details of how I installed... I believe I compiled from scratch, so there may well be an easier way. However, if anyone is having trouble I'll review what I did and write up the steps, assuming the possibly easier way above doesn't work for them.
The most important thing once you get it running is setting up decent .vimrc and .gvimrc files that suit your needs. They can just be dropped in your home directory and will load when you start vim or gvim (which is vim with a graphical interface). There are some great and highly comprehensive examples online, a few are on my delicious page: http://del.icio.us/fitzhugh/vim I'll post some specific good ones if anyone wants them and will include mine here as examples as well - mine are both highly based on examples I found online. The help files also have a great deal of info on configuring these.
Oh, there is also a wikibook on vi/vim (see delicious link above), and for those new to vi and/or vim, there is a tutorial included in the help files that is very useful.
Enough already!
