 Posted: Wed Jul 24, 2002 5:44 pm Post subject: vi segmentation fault |
 |
|
Hi,
I've just finished installing Gentoo on my Compaq 2800 laptot.
For now i've installed only system and emerged kernel.
I'd like to use a more familiar (to me) editor like vi instead of nano, so i emerge apps-editor/vi, it download, compile ... .But after all when i run vi i get a surprising segmentation fault  .
Can anyone help me with this problem ? |

Setting TERM to vt100 works fine as stated in the link above. However, merging vi and then vim, even gives you the symlink from vi->vim

Or you could just emerge vim, not deal with the 'bloat' of having both vi and vim and using only vim, and make your own symlink...

True... I just don't like modifying anything directly in /usr/bin, etc., and prefer a way through the packaging system. I prefer the minor bloat!

I came accros this same bug tonight. Vi did work when telnetting to the box (when I installed it), but it segfaults at the console (different TERM setting). I would like to have vim (cursors in edit mode etc.), but emerge --pretend vim tells me he's about to install opengl stuff and xfree! I don't want that on my server. It's a P200 (took me half a day to bootstrap the thing ) with a fairly small disk by nowaday's standards. Any way to have vim without all those additional packages?

Read the USE variable how-to. Try something like "-gnome -gtk -X".

I didn't have enough patience to wait for the replies (though you all were very fast! thanks ) and did an emerge --nodeps vim to see what happened. The funny thing is that the configure script of vim 'sees' there's no X (and related libs etc.) and compiles perfectly. Vim works now.
I guess it's better to set the USE variable permanently (maybe rebuild vim?) to avoid further problems in the future?

You could just create an alias. This wouldn't work for every user, but then you wouldn't have to worry about editing things in /usr/bin/.
lvo -- That's a pretty neat emerge trick.
