Not able to use vi (app-editors/vi-3.7-r3) from within Konsole. (nano 1.0.9-r2 works just fine, however!) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. startx 2. open a console window (Konsole) 3. issue `vi foo.txt` Actual Results: Nothing happens: Konsole issues new prompt. e.g., %>pwd %>/home/eric %>vi %> %>pwd %>/home/eric Expected Results: vi should have opened in the console.

a wild guess: is libtermcap-compat emerged? also, I noticed that in your CFLAGS you have -fsigned-char and -mpowerpc-gfxopt According to the gcc manual usage of those is not recommended. -mcpu enables those if needed, so feel free to remove them from your cflags
I may not be able to 'vi' from Konsole but I can from "Konsole - Super User Mode". Are the two app's different (or just the same app with different features)?

ok, closing because fixed
