Same situation with vim-7.0 alpha versions :-( I'm gonna do some more testing with other flags.
I found a solution for this. If I do a 'USE="-perl" emerge vim-core vim' I get a working vim. Everytime I add perl to USE flag it segfaults. This machine, which is segfaulting, is using dev-lang/perl-5.8.5-r3. I have another machine running dev-lang/perl-5.8.2-r1 which is working fine using the perl USE flag and vim-core & vim. What to do eh?
Also vim-7.0 alpha works without the perl USE flag. So clearly it must be something with the perl libs.
excellent detective work!
I solved this problem by compiling vim-6.3-r2 using gcc-3.4.3-r1. It seems that it operates normally even if perl is contained in USE Flag. The step for solution : 1. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~ppc64 emerge =sys-devel/gcc-3.4.3-r1 2. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~ppc64 emerge abiword 3. emerge gcc (back to stable version of gcc)
i'm sorry. my bad... The following is my mistake: 2. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~ppc64 emerge abiword The right command is the following: 2. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~ppc64 emerge vim
gcc-3.4.3-r1 is stable now. this bug should be fixed then.
