Hi,

I've tried to install vim 6.4 on dsl 2.3 but i get the term_set_winsize error i was told i needed to install ncurses-dev, i've tried to do that with 5.4 but I get "Your sort utility is broken install one that works"

anyone else been successful in installing vim 6.4?

vim 6.4 is available as a myDSL extension in the "uci" section of the myDSL repository
< http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub....ci.info >

If you want to compile your own, you can fix the ncurses issue by installing the ncurses-dev package, available from the "system" section of the repo:
< http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub....sl.info >

You might be able to fix the sort issue by installing gnu-utils
< http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub....sl.info >

Hi,

I've installed the ncurses-dev and also gnu-utils packages but am still getting the same error?

Any ideas?

Thanks
