libgtk-1.2 ? That would mean GTK1, something that is completely obsolete
now, not even supported by its own makers. Vim 7.3 does not support it
either, and that means every version of Vim since 2010-08-15. What
version of Vim did you install? What version of RedHat/Fedora are you
on? What is the version of Vim (the minimal Vim about which you
complained) that comes with it? (The latest version of Vim is 7.3.421 as
of this writing.)
You may have to compile you own after all: see
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Getting_the_Vim_source_with_Mercurial
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm
but this would mean making sure that all the appropriate -devel packages
needed to compile Vim are installed (and maybe your sysadmin doesn't
want them installed); or else, try to convince him to install a GUI Vim
on the system (if there isn't one already): then you can set up, as I
showed you earlier, a symlink $HOME/bin/vim pointing to the system gvim.
If you compile Vim yourself, then in addition to the settings mentioned
on the compunix.htm page, you would have to add the following line in
the script to be sourced (not executed) by bash just before the make:
export CONFIG_ARGS='--prefix=$HOME'
in order to install into subdirectories of your home directory.
Best regards,
Tony.
