Re: Which runtime files for console vim?

Most gVim installations also install vim, vimdiff, as well as some other vim binaries.

All of these are different programs and each source your "vimrc" file. The system probably has one at /etc/vimrc and you probabaly have your own at $HOME/.vimrc.

I don't know what your asking, but I am trying to provide you with something useful.

What exactly are you wanting? What is vim doing instead?

Hi,

I successfully installed gvim on a redhat installation, which must run in
console mode only. It does this fine, and has perhaps double the features
enabled as the tiny or expanded console vim.

My problem now is how to select the runtime directories and files for gvim,
running as console vim? With usual ones, I get various error messages related
to no graphics. If I used the tiny or expanded runtime files, I fear they
would not contain some useful features (e.g., search, cmd, dictionary
completion).

Specifically, I have tried to impliment the dictionary and thesaurus
functions, but they do not seem to work. I have the files, and have set the
dictionary and thesaurus variables to the correct directories.

However, i only get results when I tried to complete a word, for instance
`have', within a dictionary file itself. In any other file, I get ``pattern
not found'' for the same word. And I can not use i_CTRL-X i_CTRL-K to generate
any popup menu with a list of words. Do these popups require graphics in
linux? They seem to work OK on in my dos box under windows.

Any help appreciated.
