If it matters, I have tried recompile vim with +X and later gvim. Nothing changed to gvim - same error.

Hm, after downgrade still the same problem. That's really bad.

Downgraded even to stable, same problem.

Tried to unmerge vim and reemerge gvim. Still same problem.

I saw this line in your build.log:

checking for GTK - version >= 2.2.0... no

So there's something wrong with your GTK+2 installation, not a problem of vim.

Vim's configure script firstly uses pkg-config to check whether you have GTK+2 installed ( pkg-config --exists gtk+-2.0 ), then it tries to compile some C code with AC_TRY_RUN. If either step failed you would get no GTK+ support. I guess you will be able to find out where the problem is by looking into ./src/auto/config.log.

After rebuilding x11-libs/cairo works for me.

Thanks Richard!
