Installed vim 6.2_pre2. After env-update and source /etc/profile, I was still getting errors due to the VIMRUNTIME env variable not being updated to the new directory. Comparing various installs I found that the new install did not set /etc/env.d/40vim which sets the VIMRUNTIME variable. This file needs to be installed and this variable set for vim to work properly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Fudge. It appears to be something on my system. I downgraded to vim-core 6.1 r5 and vim 6.1 r21 and the env.d file still wasn't created. It is there on my home system, just not on my work box now. Argh.
Ah. I need to unset the VIMRUNTIME var and then it works. I don't recall seeing a notice about this, so you might want to post such a notice.
This is intentional, please see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/8120 To solve your problem you should either do "unset VIMRUNTIME" in each terminal, or simply log out of X and back in to unset the variable. The problem is that you're inheriting VIMRUNTIME from parent processes and there's no way for me to fix that.
Can you not post a notice at the end of the ebuild with this recommendation? Was it a change in baselayout and NOT vim that occured?
It was a change in the vim.eclass, and you're right that putting a warning at the end of the build would be a good idea, so I'll do that.
I've added the warning to the eclass in cvs. Thanks for the suggestion.
