Hello this is Lee McKusick,
Thanks so much for being the compiler of vim. Your vim appears in
Ubuntu. I have found a small problem with the compiled vim.
Minor problem with compiled in path of vim70 appearing in Ubuntu
distribution, I get prolog.ps not found error for the command :hardcopy
:hardcopy or :ha fails with "Path to prolog.ps" fails
Also, in the files path shown by :set, the path /usr/share/vim/vimfiles
appears twice in the path statement.
1/6/2008 fix instructions --- (written for myself this prolog.ps path
problem has been around since vim64. I had to re-figure out how to fix
the problem.)
sudo ln -s /usr/share/vim/vim70 /usr/share/vim/vim63
Find the vim version with
:version
Notice the path showing in
:set
Make the soft link above, changing "70" to version seen in :version
change "63" to number seen in path.
