Hi

I wasn't able to compile VIM on AIX, but I did find an alternative to it. In case anybody is interested in an editor with Syntax highlighting for shell scripts on aix over putty, here is the link. I am finding it very useful. Hope you do too.

If you want to use vim with AIX, why don't you just download a pre-compiled version?

Thanks for your reply. Well, I did find pre-compiled version of VIM 6.3. But noticed that it was compiled for aix 5.1. I was not sure if they would be compatible with Aix 6.1 I have given it a try anyway, and I get the following for all the four RPM files.

bash-3.2$ rpm -i vim-X11-6.3-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
error: vim-X11-6.3-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm cannot be installed
bash-3.2$ rpm -i vim-common-6.3-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
error: vim-common-6.3-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm cannot be installed
bash-3.2$ rpm -i vim-enhanced-6.3-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
error: vim-enhanced-6.3-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm cannot be installed
bash-3.2$ rpm -i vim-minimal-6.3-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
error: vim-minimal-6.3-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm cannot be installed
