unMENU / VIM will not run or install properly...

[LVLAaron]

I just rebuilt a new unraid system (4.7) and needed VIM....

 

 

unMENU tells me:

 

Installed, but version is different.
Current version='' expected '7.2'

 

 

So I tried a manual install:

 

root@Tower:/boot/packages# installpkg vim-7.2.416-i486-1.txz

Saw another user.... his thread title wasn't the best, so I started this thread:

There's the reason, a missing library it depends on.

/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found

 

I'd look for a different package for "vim" anf not mess with libc.so.8, as it is used by most everything, and is you put a different version into place, who knows what will break.

 

You sure you need "VIM" as "vi" is stock with unRAID?

Right, I can see the problem; but I wanted to let whoever handles the unMENU stuff to know  that their package is broken....

 

 

But yes, I prefer VIM because I don't know the key bindings, etc for VI.

unless you are doing something VIM specific, the commands are the same.  VIM is a superset of vi.

[LVLAaron]

The key bindings are NOT the same.

 

That's not the point of this thread anyway. The point is, there is something that is "broken" in unMENU.

I suspect it will stay broken... unless the person who contributed that package updates it.  It certainly worked at one time with an older version of unRAID. 

 

I grew up with UNIX (over 30+ years) and every version of vi I've ever used had the same basic abilities and key mappings.  I even learned enough of "emacs" to be able to survive when on a BSD machine...  You think vim->vi key mappings are tough... wrong... try vi->emacs.

 

You are more than welcome to contribute instead of criticize, and fix the VIM package for the benefit of others like you who can't do without the key-bindings you so dearly miss.  Odds are the existing package is for an older version of VIM regardless.

Yeah, ease up. I'm not criticizing anything. I'm mainly wanted to let people know, in case they also want to use the same package....

try this version... it seems to work for me:

http://search.slackware.eu/cgi-bin/package.cgi/view/slackware-13.37/slackware/ap/vim-7.3.154-i486-1.txz

 

install with

installpkg vim-7.3.154-i486-1.txz

[LVLAaron]

I tried that, too. Same message about glibc. I went back and pulled the glibc and vim packages from my previous working install and I'm still having the issue. The dependency must have been satisfied by something else that I had installed/running.
