Scrolling back through the emerge, I found this: >>> Merging app-editors/vim-6.3 to / --- /usr/ --- /usr/bin/ >>> /usr/bin/vim >>> /usr/bin/vimdiff -> vim >>> /usr/bin/rvim -> vim >>> /usr/bin/ex -> vim >>> /usr/bin/view -> vim >>> /usr/bin/rview -> vim * Updating documentation tags in /usr/share/vim/vim63 /usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 1433: 11324 Segmentation fault DISPLAY= $vim -u NONE -U NONE -T xterm -X -n -f '+set nobackup nomore' "+helptags $d/doc" '+qa!' </dev/null >&/dev/null * * gvim has now a seperate ebuild, 'emerge gvim' will install gvim * * Caching service dependencies... >>> app-editors/vim-6.3 merged. >>> Recording app-editors/vim in "world" favorites file... I wonder if that has any bearing on it.
Found out it was mm-sources (2.6.7-mm4) broke it. Compiled gentoo-dev-sources (2.6.7-gentoo-r8) and it's fine in that. What is even more strange is I am running mm-sources on some laptops at home and vim works fine in that. I had emerge'd mm-sources with the hope that the APIC timer bug would be fixed, since this is an IBM machine and the clock just stops periodically after a certain amount of time. I'm hoping that perhaps 2.6.7-gentoo-r8 has that fixed.
