For some reason, when I run vi or gvim as non-root user I get this message:

Code: Select all

E575: viminfo: Illegal starting char in line: which: no soundwrapper in (/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/kde/3.5/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.1.2:/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03/bin:/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03/jre/bin:/usr/kde/3.5/bin:/usr/qt/3/bin:/opt/vmware/workstation/bin)

E136: viminfo: Too many errors, skipping rest of file
Press ENTER or type command to continue
Everything seems OK afterwards.

Any idea what it could be?

Well, apparently npviewer.bin segfaulted and for some reason wrote a bunch of crap into my .viminfo. Removing that file fixed the problem. Not sure what the hell happened though...
