Hello I can't emerge vim on my ppc (rs6000). Tried vim-6.2-r7 trough r9 and 6.3. The error message is always the same: buffer.c: At top level: /usr/include/gconv.h:176: warning: array `__data' assumed to have one element structs.h:1028: error: storage size of `b_block_head' isn't known buffer.c:2618: error: register name not specified for `__result' buffer.c:3011: error: register name not specified for `__result' buffer.c:4358: error: register name not specified for `__result' buffer.c:4359: error: register name not specified for `__result' buffer.c:4359: error: register name not specified for `__result' buffer.c:4361: error: register name not specified for `__result' buffer.c:4361: error: register name not specified for `__result' buffer.c:4419: error: register name not specified for `__result' buffer.c:4419: error: register name not specified for `__result' buffer.c:4420: error: register name not specified for `__result' buffer.c:4420: error: register name not specified for `__result' {standard input}: Assembler messages: {standard input}:211: Error: symbol `__result' is already defined as "*COM*"/4 {standard input}:223: Error: symbol `__result' is already defined as "*COM*"/4 {standard input}:229: Error: symbol `__result' is already defined as "*COM*"/4 {standard input}:235: Error: symbol `__result' is already defined as "*COM*"/4 {standard input}:241: Error: symbol `__result' is already defined as "*COM*"/4 {standard input}:247: Error: symbol `__result' is already defined as "*COM*"/4 {standard input}:253: Error: symbol `__result' is already defined as "*COM*"/4 {standard input}:289: Error: symbol `__result' is already defined as "*COM*"/4 {standard input}:295: Error: symbol `__result' is already defined as "*COM*"/4 {standard input}:301: Error: symbol `__result' is already defined as "*COM*"/4 {standard input}:307: Error: symbol `__result' is already defined as "*COM*"/4 {standard input}:314: Error: symbol `s' is already defined {standard input}:326: Error: symbol `s' is already defined make[1]: *** [objects/buffer.o] Error 1 make: *** [first] Error 2 !!!

Hello Found the problem. Cscope was not installed. After emerging cscope vim installs fine. regards Thomas
This bug isn't fixed. I tried installing cscope and it didn't help. I get the same error. I can't stand nano. I need VIM! :-D Ciao!
I added a comment on how to fix this on bug: 53919 The correct fix seems to be something like: USE="ncurses" emerge vim Apparently, it was picking up libtermcap-compat instead of ncurses and failing to detect the size of an int (among other problems). Ciao!
