Tony made a HowTo on compiling Vim on unices. See
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm
See also ':h usr_90'.

It lives as a stanza in my ~/.zshrc. Bash users go with ~/.bashrc.
Lovers of small inition files would put the part between {} in a shell
script ~/bin/mkvim, whoose first line is sth. like '#!/bin/sh'.

Still questions? Don't refrain to ask ;-)
