Just upgraded to vim-6.4. Now when I try to open vim, this is what I get: $ vim Error detected while processing /etc/vim/vimrc: line 87: E484: Can't open file /usr/share/vim/syntax/syntax.vim Error detected while processing /home/lustosa/.vimrc: line 1: E484: Can't open file /usr/share/vim/syntax/syntax.vim Hit ENTER or type command to continue I tried etc-update, but there's no updated config file. The syntax.vim file seems to be in /usr/share/vim/vim64/syntax I'm attaching my local /etc/vim/vimrc, though I don't think I have changed anything on it Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -u vim (on ~x86 here) 2. vim 3.

What exact versions of vim, vim-core and gvim are you using? Most likely cause of this is trying to use, say, vim-6.4b with vim-core-6.4.
Bingo! Got vim-core updated to 6.4, but portage still hasn't updated vim from 6.4b. Shame on me!! Sorry for taking your time.
