configure script of the vim/gvim 7.0_beta can't find python on AMD64. This happening because of hardcoded subdir names in configure.in - 'share' or 'lib'. In this subdirs it trying to find python's config dir: 'python2.4/config'. But on AMD64 python is installed in /usr/lib64/ and not in /usr/lib/. Thus, vim/gvim 7.0 (maybe 6.x too??) always compiles without python support, even if USE=python. And, as a consequence, in vim/gvim doesn't work brand new omni-completion, when editing .py sources. I've found the way to fix this problem: we need to patch file 'vim7/src/configure.in' at line 610 like this: before: for subdir in lib share; do after: for subdir in lib64 lib share; do

Hi! The supplied patch is flawed. Hence not applied. I just downloaded the source from vim.org and everything works great on my amd64... Proof: checking for python... /usr/bin/python checking Python version... 2.4 checking Python is 1.4 or better... yep checking Python's install prefix... /usr checking Python's execution prefix... /usr checking Python's configuration directory... /usr/lib/python2.4/config I can't see anything wrong... Regards, Patrik
Actually that could be a valid problem on no-symlink systems, though Alexander seems to be running a normal system. Though really, the patch should replace "lib" with $(get_libdir) so it will do the right thing with ABI="x86" VIM team: what do you think?
Oh boy, I've already forget this bug. It seems, bug was fixed in one of the 7.0 final ebuilds (-r1?) Since then it perfectly compiles on my amd64 laptop. Thank you for the attention. :)
