    Hi All,

     

    Fresh install of AIX 7200-02-02, and after successfully installing both vim-common and vim-enhanced via YUM, the following errors are shown when executing vim. 

    # vim
Error detected while processing /opt/freeware/share/vim/vim80/syntax/syncolor.vim:
line   46:
E254: Cannot allocate color SlateBlue
Press ENTER or type command to continue

    vim itself then continues to function fine, but throws that error each time.

      

    # yum list installed | grep vim
vim-common.ppc                      8.0-1                   @AIX_Toolbox_ppc
vim-enhanced.ppc                    8.0-1                   @AIX_Toolbox_ppc

     

    Regards,

    Kristian

    Thanks for reporting the issue. We will fix this in the next release.

    As a workaround you can fix this by doing the below

    cp /usr/lpp/X11/lib/X11/rgb.txt /opt/freeware/share/vim/vim80/ 

    This file /usr/lpp/X11/lib/X11/rgb.txt comes from AIX X11 base fileset.
